Minimally Invasive & Robotic Surgery

Advanced surgical care with a focus on precision, recovery, and continuity

When surgery is needed, our providers offer minimally invasive and robotic-assisted techniques to treat a variety of gynecologic conditions. These approaches allow for greater precision, smaller incisions, and a smoother recovery compared to traditional open surgery. Whenever appropriate, our goal is to use the least invasive approach that still provides safe and effective treatment.

Conditions Treated

Conditions Treated

  • Uterine fibroids, including fibroid removal (myomectomy)
  • Endometriosis, including surgical treatment when indicated
  • Adenomyosis
  • Abnormal uterine bleeding, including heavy menstrual bleeding
  • Ovarian cysts and ovarian masses
  • Chronic pelvic pain
  • Pelvic adhesions (scar tissue)
  • Pelvic organ prolapse (bladder, uterine, or vaginal)

This list highlights common conditions treated with minimally invasive and robotic-assisted techniques. Not all conditions are listed, and surgical recommendations are individualized based on your specific diagnosis, symptoms, and overall clinical picture.

Our Surgical Approach

Surgery is not always the first step. When appropriate, we begin with evaluation, medical management, or in-office procedures before recommending surgical treatment.

Many patients are able to receive treatment in our office setting prior to surgery, including procedures performed with comfort options such as nitrous oxide or in-office anesthesia when appropriate.

If surgery is needed, we utilize minimally invasive techniques, including laparoscopic and robotic-assisted approaches, to improve surgical precision and support a more efficient recovery.

Procedures may include hysterectomy or other minimally invasive gynecologic surgery options depending on your condition and goals.

Your provider will review all available options with you, explain how each approach compares, and help determine the most appropriate plan based on your condition and goals.

Understanding Robotic-Assisted Surgery

Robotic-assisted surgery does not replace your surgeon. Instead, it is an advanced tool that allows your surgeon to operate with enhanced precision, control, and visualization. During your procedure, your surgeon uses specialized instruments and a high-definition, magnified view to perform delicate movements with greater accuracy.

Benefits of Minimally Invasive Surgery

  • Smaller incisions
  • Less postoperative pain
  • Shorter recovery time
  • Reduced risk of complications in appropriate candidates
  • Quicker return to normal activities
