What is minimally invasive gynecological surgery?

Minimally invasive gynecological surgery is an advanced type of surgery that utilizes innovative tools and surgical techniques to perform necessary procedures without opening up your entire abdomen. There are many types of minimally invasive gynecological surgeries, including:

Laparoscopic minimally invasive surgery

During laparoscopic minimally invasive gynecological surgery, the team uses a laparoscope to assist in performing the procedure. A laparoscope is a thin flexible tube that contains a camera and a light.

The team inserts the laparoscope through a small incision made in your abdomen to view your reproductive organs. Then, they make additional incisions for the surgical instruments needed to perform the necessary procedure.

Robotic surgery

Robotic minimally invasive gynecological surgery combines laparoscopic surgical techniques with robotic technology. With robotic surgery, the team performs complex gynecological surgical procedures with accuracy and precision.

Vaginal minimally invasive surgery

Some gynecological surgical procedures are performed through the vagina, which is considered one of the most minimally invasive approaches.

What conditions are treated with minimally invasive gynecological surgery?

The experienced team at Lenox OBGYN uses minimally invasive gynecological surgery to treat many gynecological conditions. Some of the most common procedures and conditions include:

Oophorectomy

An oophorectomy is a surgical procedure that removes your ovary or ovaries. The team may recommend an oophorectomy to treat an ovarian cyst or abscess, endometriosis, or ovarian cancer.

Hysterectomy

During a hysterectomy, the team removes your uterus. The team at Lenox OBGYN may perform your hysterectomy using a laparoscopic, vaginal, or robotic procedure.

Endometriosis

Endometriosis is a common gynecological condition in which the endometrial tissue that lines your uterus grows on other organs and tissues, such as your ovaries or fallopian tubes. The team uses minimally invasive gynecological surgery to diagnose and manage endometriosis.
