Bursectomy

Description
A bursa is a small sac of fluid that sits underneath the skin over bony prominences. It helps protect the underlying bone from too much local pressure. In a bursectomy a bursa is cut out either endoscopically or with open surgery. The bursa grows back in place after a couple of weeks but without any inflammatory component.
Bursitis

Description
Bursitis is usually caused by repetitive movement and excessive pressure. Elbows and knees are the most commonly affected. Inflammation of the bursae might also be caused by an inflammatory condition such as rheumatoid arthritis. Traumatic injury is another cause of bursitis.

A small biopsy is usually taken from the neck of the womb to check there are no other abnormalities before cervical cautery is performed.
