Gynecologic Surgery
Gynecologic minimally invasive surgeries include:
- Diagnostic Laparoscopy - Using small incisions
for access, surgeons diagnose and treat the
causes of chronic pelvic pain.

Cysts - Using small incisions for access, surgeons
treat endometrial damage and ovarian cysts.
- Laparoscopic Tubal Ligation - Using small
incisions for access, surgeons perform sterilization
procedures.

is placed through the vagina and through the
cervix to look inside the womb. Surgeons use
it to diagnose and treat causes of heavy or
irregular vaginal bleeding.
- Hysteroscopic myomectomy - Using a hysteroscope,
surgeons remove fibroids from the lining of
the womb.
- Endometrial Ablation - Using a hysteroscope,
surgeons remove the uterine lining to control
