Torrevieja Salud ,the company which manages Torrevieja hospital,has announced the successes of the high resolution gynaecological consultancy which has saved 80 women from having to have surgery.Since March it has also done away with the waiting list for surgical sterilisations and hysterectomies.

The combination of advanced technology and professional skill has enabled rapid treatment of certain conditions.It is one of the few services in the country and the equipment enables patients to have a complete cervical,endometrial and ovarian diagnosis in only a single visit.

The hysteroscope is able to look inside the uterus through the uterus wall without anaesthesia and allowing the patient to recover straight away.The technique enables the existence of endometrial polyps and myomas,which are common in middle aged patients,to be dealt with.It also allows tubal litigation sterilisation in younger women.

Patients who are referred by the gynaecological service in El Acequion health centre in Torrevieja  can therefore  avoid waiting for operations,the risk of surgery and post operative recovery time.All of this without taking time off work.
