Endometrial Ablation

Endometrial Ablation: A short outpatient procedure could be the solution for heavy periods.

Get real relief… without hysterectomy.

In the past, women who experienced heavy periods and excessive bleeding (menorrhagia) were usually advised to undergo hysterectomy, a surgical procedure with life-changing consequences. But Dr. Lawrence K. Koning, a highly experienced ObGyn in Corona, believes you deserve options, which is why he performs an innovative, minimally invasive alternative to help stop the excessive bleeding and discomfort of menorrhagia.

Fast, less invasive & much easier on you.

Endometrial ablation is a safe, quick procedure that can resolve menorrhagia with minimal discomfort or downtime. It involves no incisions, hormones or inserts, takes only minutes and is performed once. With endometrial ablation, Dr. Koning uses heat to carefully ablate the lining of the uterus. This greatly reduces — or eliminates — the severity of the menstrual cycle while leaving the uterus intact. In addition to being much easier on you than hysterectomy, this outpatient procedure is both more private and more convenient.

Get on with your life.

After having endometrial ablation, some women experience very light, shortened periods while many report having no periods at all. In addition, endometrial ablation often helps reduce the pain associated with heavy periods.

Find out how this leading-edge treatment can free you from heavy menstrual bleeding. Talk to Dr. Koning. He’ll explain the procedure, including all the risks and benefits, and let you know if it might be right for you. Schedule your consultation today: (951) 371-0844.

Essure®

Essure®: Permanent birth control… the easier way.

Tubal ligation surgery is a thing of the past!

Today, Lawrence K. Koning, MD, performs a brief, easy-on-you outpatient procedure that prevents pregnancy as effectively as tubal ligation. It’s called Essure. But instead of tying your fallopian tubes during a surgical procedure, it is a minimally invasive technique that helps your body plug the tubes naturally.

How Essure works.

Essure consists of tiny microinserts that are passed through the vagina, cervix and uterus. They are placed into the fallopian tubes, where they stimulate your body to grow tissue. The inserts also serve as a scaffolding to support the cells as they form a plug. After three months, Dr. Koning confirms (via X-ray imaging) that the tubes are completely blocked and will prevent sperm from reaching the egg.

The easy alternative to tubal ligation surgery.

Because it requires no incisions, this technique is far easier on you than tubal ligation. (It’s also less traumatic than male vasectomy.) As an easy outpatient procedure, Essure involves no hospital registration, only light anesthesia and less recovery pain and scarring. Also, most women return to normal activities the following day. What’s more, Essure is quicker than tubal ligation surgery, costs less and is 99.8% effective at preventing pregnancy!

A well-trained, highly credentialed ObGyn with more than 20 years of experience, Dr. Koning is among the most skilled specialists in Corona to offer the Essure technique as a simple outpatient procedure. For permanent birth control without the hassles of surgery and hospitals, call us today: (951) 371-0844.

Hysterectomy

Hysterectomy: Trust credentials, experience & advanced capabilities.

Despite alternatives, hysterectomy remains a necessary treatment.

Today, women facing hysterectomy have more options than ever. There are even treatments that help you avoid hysterectomy altogether. Yet, hysterectomy is still recommended for the treatment of cancer of the cervix or uterus, severe uterine fibroids and pelvic inflammatory disease, among other problems. It’s in these circumstances that you want premier care.

Techniques that minimize the burden of surgery.

ObGyn Lawrence K. Koning, MD, combines vast experience with today’s most advanced hysterectomy techniques. With these latest methods, Dr. Koning is often able to help women get back to normal activities in days, not weeks, using a vaginal approach, which is much less invasive than traditional hysterectomy. With this approach, there is no large incision that requires many staples or stitches, and recovery is shorter and less uncomfortable. In some cases, no incisions outside the body are needed at all.

In some cases, however, a laparoscopic approach is more appropriate. While more invasive than the vaginal hysterectomy, this method is still far, far easier on you than the traditional open technique. It requires only tiny incisions, so recovery is shorter and less uncomfortable, and scarring is minimized.

The experience & skill required for excellent results.

The vast majority of hysterectomies performed by Dr. Koning are with either the vaginal or laparoscopic approach, both of which are minimally invasive procedures. Yet, Dr. Koning’s vast experience also makes him adept at the traditional approach, which is necessary in some cases. Dr. Koning will let you know which options are available to you and will explain your choices and care in terms you can understand.
