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:
- 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
