When medication and non-invasive procedures are unable to relieve symptoms for women, surgery remains the most accepted and effective treatment for a range of gynecologic conditions. At LifeBridge Health we offer the latest advances in surgical innovations.
Women who receive MIS most often have post-surgery recovery times measured in days, not weeks, and experience less pain, scarring and risk for infection. Also, MIS means the procedure can be done on an outpatient basis, making an overnight hospital stay unnecessary. Gynecologists were among the first physicians to use laparoscopy in treating patients.
Hysterectomy is only one of many different gynecologic surgeries completed with minimally invasive methods. Treatments for urinary stress incontinence, female hernias and chronic pelvic pain can also be performed with MIS. Minimally invasive procedures may be performed using either traditional "straight stick" laparoscopic methods or with robotic assistance, depending on individual circumstances and physician preference.
