Tackle the Fibroid, Protect the Uterus
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.
What Is the Acessa Procedure?
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.
Could It Be Right for You?
While the Acessa procedure is right for some, only you and your physician can decide the best treatment option for you. Call A Woman’s Place to request and appointment to explore if this is a solution for you.

FAQ
The Acessa® procedure, medically known as Laparoscopic Radiofrequency Ablation (Lap RFA), uses targeted heat energy to ablate fibroid tissue while preserving the healthy uterine wall.
Unlike traditional fibroid surgery (myomectomy) or hysterectomy, Acessa® is minimally invasive, focuses treatment only on the fibroid itself, and avoids cutting into or removing the uterus.
Ideal candidates are women with symptomatic uterine fibroids who wish to preserve their uterus. A definitive determination requires a consultation and imaging evaluation to assess fibroid size, number, and location.
Most patients go home the same day or after an overnight stay. Mild pain or cramping is managed with oral medications, and most return to normal activities within 1–2 weeks.
Acessa® is typically covered by major medical insurance plans when deemed medically necessary. Our billing team can help verify your benefits and estimate out‑of‑pocket costs prior to treatment.
