Minimally Invasive Surgery

Many procedures regarding the female reproductive system can be performed using minimally invasive techniques. The traditional hysterectomy procedure requires a five-inch abdominal incision, leaving a large visible scar. New technologies make it possible to have tiny scars that do not require stretched abdominal muscles. Similar techniques can be used to treat:

• Ovarian cysts
• Pelvic pain
• Scar tissue
• Tubal ligation
• Uterine fibroids
• Abnormal uterine bleeding
• Ectopic pregnancy

Advanced Technology. Rapid Recovery.

We offer a wide range of minimally invasive surgical procedures that will get you back on your feet faster than ever before. Advancements in technology allow us to operate with tiny incisions which mean reduced pain, smaller scars and quicker recovery. Minimally invasive surgery often involves remote-controlled manipulation of instruments. Using miniature cameras with microscopes and fiber-optic flashlights, the surgical site is then viewed by a high definition monitor. Depending on your needs, this technique can be performed on an inpatient or outpatient basis. This less intrusive surgical technique, also known as laparoscopic surgery, offers significant advantages over traditional methods.

Advantages of Minimally Invasive Surgery:

• Less pain and trauma
• Shorter recovery times
• Minimal scarring
• Less physical stress on older or weaker patients
• Lower risk of infection
• Less blood loss
