Benefits of In-Office Anesthesia For Gynecology and Fertility
Some gynecology and fertility treatments can be uncomfortable or even painful. For many patients, anesthesia can help. Whether you are going through IVF and will be going through egg retrieval and implantation, are facing cancer treatments, or are in need of endometrial ablation, in-office anesthesia for gynecology and fertility can make the procedure pain-free. Our physician anesthesiologists will monitor you at all stages of the procedure and make sure that you are comfortable upon waking. This approach provides several key benefits:
- More effective procedures: Egg retrieval can be more effective when the patient does not feel any pain; the physician can extract more eggs in a shorter amount of time if the patient is asleep.
- Easier scheduling: Office-based anesthesia allows doctors to work around their patient’s scheduling demands instead of adhering to a hospital’s schedule.
- More convenience and comfort: Patients are likely to feel more at ease in their gynecologist’s or fertility specialist’s office than in a hospital.
- Anesthesia experts: Physician anesthesiologists go through extensive education and clinical training in order to provide office-based anesthesia.
- Lower costs: In-office anesthesia services can help both patients and surgeons save money compared to hospital fees.
