Bone Mineral Densitometry
Bone mineral densitometry (BMD) determines the amount of bone and over time can track loss (and the risk of developing osteoporosis) by measuring radiation absorption by the skeleton.

Colonoscopy
Colonoscopy is used to evaluate blood in stool, abdominal pain, persistent diarrhea, or abnormalities found during x-rays. It is also used to determine the type and extent of inflammatory bowel disease, ulcerative colitis, and Crohn's disease. Finally, and perhaps most importantly, it is used to screen for colon cancer

Laparoscopy
Laparoscopy is a surgery that uses a thin, lighted tube put through an incision near the belly button to look at the abdominal organs or the female pelvic organs. Laparoscopy is used to diagnose problems such as cysts, adhesions, fibroids, and infection. Tissue samples may be taken for biopsy through the laparoscope.

Loop Electrosurgical Excision Procedure (LEEP)
The loop electrosurgical excision procedure (LEEP) uses a thin, low-voltage electrified wire loop to cut out abnormal tissue. It can remove abnormal cervical tissue that is seen during a colposcopy or tissue within the cervical canal that is not seen during the colposcopy.
Myomectomy
Myomectomy is the surgical removal of fibroids from the uterus.

Needle Suspension Procedures and Transvaginal Tape Procedures
Needle suspension procedures and transvaginal tape procedures are surgical procedures used to improve stress urinary incontinence.
Ovarian Cystectomy
Ovarian cystectomy can be preformed by two different procedures: Laparoscopy is a diagnostic procedure used to confirm diagnoses and remove benign ovarian cysts. Laparotomy is an open procedure used to remove ovaries or larger cysts.
Sigmoidoscopy
Sigmoidoscopy is a diagnostic test used to determine the cause of abdominal pain, change in bowel habits, new or persistent constipation, protracted diarrhea, rectal bleeding or blood in the stool, or unexplained weight loss. Sigmoidoscopy is also used as a screening tool for colon cancer, evidence of polyps, Crohn's disease, and other problems.

Urinary Incontinence and Collagen Implants
Collagen implants are used to treat incontinence for leakage caused by lack of control or poor control of urine flow from the bladder.
Uterine Suspension
Uterine suspension is used to relieve pelvic pain or painful intercourse when the pain is thought to be the result of uterine retroversion (tilted uterus) or prolapse.
