Gynecologic Surgery
Complex gynecologic surgeries that once required large incisions and long recovery times are now being performed as minimally invasive laparoscopic procedures. These advances allow surgeons to perform their procedures through tiny incisions, using a camera and small instruments. This provides surgeons with a clearer and more magnified view as well as more precise control than a traditional open procedure. Today's technology makes procedures like hysterectomies and myomectomies shorter and safer, and greatly reduces recovery time. Our specialized surgical services include:
