If a surgical procedure is necessary, all
procedures are done via minimally invasive techniques, using
laparoscopy or laser surgery, as well as hysteroscopy. Virtually all
gynecologic problems can be treated using these tools. Some of these
procedures include:
- Treatment of endometriosis
- Removal of scar tissue (adhesions) to
lessen pain
- Removal of ovarian cysts
- Removal of fibroids (myomectomy)
- Removal of the uterus (hysterectomy)
- Correction of urinary stress
incontinence (bladder tack) and/or pelvic prolapse
- Treatment of ovarian and endometrial
cancer
- Endometrial ablation for correction of
uterine bleeding
Post-Operative Benefits
- No hospital stay, or significantly
decreased stay
- Decreased post-operative pain
- More rapid return to normal activity
or work
- Improvement of sexual function
compared to other gynecologic surgeries
- Decreased blood loss, with less
likelihood of transfusions and/or other surgical complications
- Most importantly, surgical results
are enhanced by the ability of the surgeon to see and work with
tissues.
