Minimally Invasive Gynecologic Surgery Options
Minimally Invasive Surgery (MIS) is any procedure that is considered less invasive than open (traditional) surgery and results in minimal scarring, less pain, and a quicker return to normal activities. MIS options include laparoscopic surgery (laparoscopy) and robotic-assisted surgery.
Laparoscopic Surgery
Laparoscopic surgery is performed through small incisions, using the assistance of a video camera illuminating the surgical field within the body.
Benefits of Laparoscopy:
- Smaller incision
- Lower costs
- Faster recovery
- May not require an overnight stay at the hospital
Gynecologic Robotic-Assisted Surgery
The most advanced type of minimally invasive surgery is robotic surgery. At Hoag, we have a team of dedicated gyn surgeons that specialize in this technique as a treatment option for several gyn conditions. These conditions include fibroids, endometriosis, gynecological cancers, pelvic organ prolapse and fertility preservation.
GYN Robotic-Assisted Surgery
Explore an MIS option where surgeons are assisted by robotic technology. Benefits include less pain, a smaller incision, fewer complications, a shorter hospital stay, and a faster recovery.
