Minimally Invasive Gynecologic Surgery

Working steadily to make surgery easier to undergo, medical science in recent decades has achieved significant strides in this effort.  This certainly gains ground for gynecologic surgery.  

Newer, less-invasive forms of surgery can help patients feel better sooner – with less recovery time, less time in the hospital, less scarring, and less pain, against conventional surgery.  In our hospital, we do open surgery as well, we have increasingly been able to offer patients minimally invasive procedures based on use of the latest in endoscopic and laparoscopic.  

Endoscopes are long, tube-like instruments introduced through small cuts in the skin.  Such tools include a small video camera and light – letting the surgeon to see inside the body – as well as surgical instruments used to resect or manipulate tissue. This approach gives the same benefits as conventional surgery but leads to less trauma to surrounding and surface tissues, and thus permits faster healing and faster return to normal activities.

Because minimally invasive surgery uses smaller incisions through the skin and less manipulation of nearby tissue, the procedures are less disruptive to the body.  As a result, patients have less postoperative discomfort, and pain generally resolves itself more quickly than with conventional surgery.  

Further, open surgery can leave patients with unsightly and large scars.  But our hospital’s specialists can perform minimally invasive procedures typically through two or three incisions that are less than an inch in length.  Most patients will not notice the marks left by these incisions.

Our hospital can determine if a minimally invasive approach is right for a patient.  The staff can explain benefits of endoscopy-based procedures and operations, and explain the risks.

With a staff dedicated to minimally invasive surgery, the hospital prides itself in its surgical team's training and success in this approach.
