Myomas, polyps, malformations, and abnormal tissue adhesions are a few uterine diseases implying surgical intervention for treatment, preferably minimally invasive, with modern techniques and tools. At Hospital da Luz Vila Real, the Gynaecology-Obstetrics service already performs such procedures resorting to the Intrauterine Bigatti Shaver (IBS ® ) , a modern equipment offering the major advantage of an improvement in surgical global results and a reduction in the number of complications. Coordinated by Alexandre Carvalho , the Gynaecology team has already performed surgical resectoscopes using the Bigatti Shaver, namely for removal of polyps, intrauterine myomas, and placental remnants. “The advantages of use of this equipment are a reduction in surgery time, reduced cervical dilation, and enhanced visualization of the uterine cavity”, explains the specialist. He further adds: “the IBS ® also enables precise tissue removal, minimizing damages in the surrounding endometrium and avoiding the use of high frequency current during the procedure”. The scheduling of Gynaecology-Obstetrics consultations can be made on MY LUZ app or MY LUZ web version .
