Dr. Emily Lombard shares how your surgical care team at Ascension Wisconsin uses minimally invasive surgery or robotic surgery, which can help shorten your recovery time.

 

Minimally invasive gynecologic surgery

Surgery may be recommended as part of your care plan. When possible, we use minimally invasive surgery. With this type of procedure, your doctor uses small incisions. The benefits of minimally invasive surgery may include:

  • Endometrial ablation - We offer multiple options for endometrial ablation, including cryotherapy. Cerene is one FDA-approved device used in certain cases, based on clinical need.
  • Less pain
  • Lower risk of infection
  • Most procedures are performed on an outpatient basis or a short hospital stay
  • Shorter recovery
  • Smaller incisions 

Your doctor will help you understand the risks and benefits of surgery, so that you can make the decision that’s right for you. Your care plan may also include a combination of lifestyle changes, pelvic floor physical therapy, oral medication and injections. 

Surgical treatment options include, but are not limited to:

  • Biopsy (gynecologic)
  • Hysterectomy 
  • Pelvic organ prolapse surgery
  • Pelvic floor reconstruction surgery
  • Urinary incontinence surgery
