Gynecologic Surgery
Minimally invasive — so you recover faster
What is gynecologic surgery

- less pain during and after surgery, allowing you to recover more comfortably.
- faster recovery so that you can return to your normal routine sooner.
- improved quality of life as you get back to the activities you love and enjoy life to the fullest
Some conditions that may be treated with minimally invasive gynecologic surgery include:
- abnormal uterine bleeding
- endometrial lesions
- surgical birth control
- cervical cancer prevention
- endometriosis
- fibroids
- ovarian cysts
- ovarian torsion
- pelvic pain
- ectopic pregnancy
- pelvic prolapse
- urinary incontinence
- uterine prolapse
