                    Innovation in gynecology

                    The Misericordia’s innovative team was the first in the province to perform hysteroscopies under sedation rather than general anesthesia, which has decreased surgical wait times and shortened hospital stays for patients. 

                    We are also the only site in the zone to offer Acessa, a fibroid procedure that delivers heat directly into a fibroid to treat the tissue and relieve symptoms, while protecting the uterus.

                    Referral

                    You will need a referral to access these services.

                    Feature story

                    Surgeons at Misericordia hospital are the first in Alberta to use innovative Acessa technology to treat uterine fibroids

                    The Acessa procedure is less invasive and requires less downtime for healing than other procedures.

                    We acknowledge that what we refer to as Alberta is the traditional ancestral territory of a diversity of Indigenous peoples and home to Treaty 6, 7 and 8. We recognize and give thanks to the many First Nations, Métis and Inuit who have lived in and cared for these lands for generations, all who continue to grace these lands and all future generations. We make this acknowledgement as an act of reconciliation and gratitude.
