Proudly Part of Privia Health
The medical term for the Acessa procedure is Laparoscopic Radiofrequency Ablation (Lap RFA). That’s a real mouthful. Essentially, what the doctor does is deliver heat directly into a fibroid in order to treat the tissue and in turn, relieve your symptoms.
The Acessa procedure allows for a thorough and minimally invasive method of treating your fibroids. It was designed to preserve healthy uterine tissue by focusing treatment only on the fibroid (versus cutting into the uterus or removing it completely) while relieving symptoms caused by fibroids.
