The Center for Women's Care and
Reproductive Surgery is a supportive team offering a complete
approach to infertility and advanced reproductive disorders, in
addition to general gynecologic care.
Endometriosis Study Participants Needed
“About four-fifths of
endometriosis patients do not display symptoms,” said Tom Lyons, MD, a
pioneer in gynecologic laparoscopy and co-author of WHAT TO DO WHEN THE
DOCTOR SAYS IT’S ENDOMETRIOSIS (Fair Winds Press).
“This study will help us
determine whether different colors of light can help us detect
endometriosis more easily—and thus remove it more efficiently and
effectively,” he said.
Three sites in the
U.S. including the Center for Women’s Care & Reproductive Surgery in
Atlanta will participate in a clinical trial of Olympus Narrow Band
Imaging to determine whether light of different colors helps detect the
disease better than white light only.
Our in-office diagnostic equipment
enables us to evaluate most gynecologic disorders such as abnormal
uterine bleeding without hospitalization and/or D&C. Since
procedures such as these can be done on-site, our patients receive
the significant benefits of convenience and reduced costs.
Diagnostics include:
High-resolution vaginal ultrasound
for rapid, complete evaluation, read on site by Dr. Lyons for greater
accuracy and timely diagnosis.
Hysteroscopy for in-office evaluation
of abnormal uterine bleeding.
Complete laboratory to evaluate
endocrinologic abnormalities.
Evaluation of urinary stress
incontinence with urodynamic testing.
Information is available and we
provide care for problems including:
Endometriosis
Ovarian cysts or masses
Urinary stress incontinence or
loss of bladder control, in addition to other pelvic relaxation
problems
Pelvic inflammatory disease
(P.I.D.)
Uterine fibroids or benign
fibroid tumors
Ovarian or uterine cancer
Infertility or reproductive
disorders
Adhesive Disease
For endometriosis removal, Dr. Lyons'
use of video laparoscopic laser excisional surgery has been shown to be
far more effective than just laser removal of the disease visible on the
surface. His objective is to remove all endometriosis while preserving a
woman's organs.
The laparoscopic supracervical
hysterectomy is a laser surgery procedure developed by Dr. Lyons
that leaves the woman's cervix intact. The procedure causes less
trauma to the patient and leaves the pelvic floor intact as a
further deterrent to pelvic prolapse or urinary stress
incontinence later on.
Kristina Henry, a Texas woman
in her early thirties who had experienced her first painful and
terrifying surgery at age 16 to correct MRKH syndrome, or
failure of vaginal development, recently sought out the Center
for Women's Care & Reproductive Surgery in Atlanta more than
half her lifetime....

Years after Dr. Lyons introduced minimally invasive
hysterectomies, little has changed: 65% of Hysterectomies still
have large incisions.
