When medication and noninvasive procedures are unable to relieve symptoms, surgical care remains the most accepted and effective form of treatment for many gynecological conditions.

Minimally invasive surgery

We are able to use minimally invasive and laparoscopic procedures to treat a variety of gynecological conditions, including cancers. Some of the more common minimally invasive procedures we perform include:

  • Endometrial resection
  • Myomectomy
  • Ovarian cystectomy
  • Robot-assisted gynecology surgery

Our surgeons maintain a commitment to performing minimally invasive procedures whenever possible. Some of the primary benefits of this type of care include:

  • Faster recovery
  • Less pain
  • Minimal scarring
  • Shorter hospital stays

Robot-assisted surgery

Robot-assisted surgery is now an option for a number of gynecological procedures, including hysterectomies. During robot-assisted surgery, your surgeon will make several small incisions, similar to traditional laparoscopy, before using high-definition, 3D viewing capabilities to navigate through your procedure. This surgical system gives your surgeon increased precision and control.
