Experts in Minimally Invasive Gynecological Procedures

Minimally invasive procedures can be performed laparoscopically or with robot-assisted technology. Unlike traditional surgery, minimally invasive procedures use small incisions, reducing the risk of infection, scarring, and allows the patient to recover faster. 

We understand each individual has unique needs and preferences when it comes to their care. Our skilled gynecological surgery team always offer you the most effective treatment options, while utilizing the least invasive methods possible. 

We specialize in a variety of minimally invasive gynecological procedures, including: 

Hysterectomy

A surgical procedure to remove the uterus. Reasons your doctor may recommend a hysterectomy include irregular bleeding, pain, hyperplasia, adenomyosis, and to treat or prevent cervical or uterine cancer. 

Myomectomy

Removes uterine fibroids and treats irregular or heavy bleeding, frequent urination, and pelvic pain. A myomectomy is an alternative to a hysterectomy if you wish to keep your uterus or plan to become pregnant.

Resection of endometriosis

Treats endometriosis by removing the endometrial tissue that grows outside of the uterus. Endometrial resections can relieve symptoms such as chronic pelvic pain, excessive bleeding, and infertility issues. 

Reversal of tubal ligation

Women who have had tubal ligation surgery that wish to become pregnant again may undergo tubal ligation reversal surgery. This procedure reopens the fallopian tubes by reattaching them or removing the obstruction that is permanently blocking the tube. Once the reversal is complete, your risk of ectopic pregnancy increases, and there is no guarantee you will be able to become pregnant again. 

Treatment of uterine fibroids

Fibroids are solid tumors that can cause pelvic pain, heavy periods, infertility, and pregnancy complications. It is estimated that 70%-80% of women will develop uterine fibroids in their lifetime. In a majority of fibroid cases, the tumors are noncancerous and too small to be noticed or cause symptoms, but if you begin to experience severe symptoms then minimally invasive surgery may be recommended. 

Other common surgical treatments we offer are:   

  • Cervical cerclage/cervical stitch
  • Endometrial ablation
  • Pelvic reconstructive surgery
  • Tension-free vaginal tape for urinary incontinence
  • Vesicovaginal fistula repair for urinary incontinence
