Surgical Procedures

What Are Ob-Gyn Surgical Procedures?

A gynecology surgery involves any organ or structure within the female pelvic region, including the uterus, cervix, ovaries, fallopian tubes, vagina, and vulva. Screenings are usually done before surgery if a woman is concerned about the risk of developing a condition within her reproductive system. If the test returns positive, a woman can decide to undergo surgery, depending on the situation. A woman may also choose surgery as a form of permanent birth control.

Our Offered Services

We offer surgical and nonsurgical procedures to give you a wide range of options to fit your needs.

Women's Surgical Procedures

Our surgical procedures encompass the following:

• Dilation and curettage (D&C): A procedure to remove uterus tissue to test, diagnose, and treat certain conditions or to clear the lining following a miscarriage.
• Da Vinci robotic surgery: A minimally invasive surgery assisted with robotic innovation to make small incisions for surgery. This is used for endometriosis resection, hysterectomy, myomectomy, and pelvic organ prolapse.
• LEEP conization: A treatment for abnormal cell growth on surface tissue in the cervix using a loop electrosurgical excision procedure (LEEP). A wire loop is heated by electricity to remove any abnormal tissue.
• Hysterectomy: A surgery to completely remove the uterus from the body. A woman is no longer able to get pregnant following this operation.
• Hysteroscopy: An inspection of the inside of the cervix and uterus for any abnormalities. This procedure uses a hysteroscope — a thin, flexible tube.
• Myomectomy: A procedure to remove leiomyomas, or uterine fibroids. These can develop during childbearing years and are noncancerous.
• Polypectomy: The removal of a polyp in the uterine lining or cervix. These small growths are benign in most cases, but can be uncomfortable.
• Endometrial ablation: The reduction or destruction of the uterine lining to limit or completely stop menstrual flow. No incisions are used in this procedure, only thin tools are inserted through the cervix.
• Laparoscopy: Another minimally-invasive procedure to search for endometriosis, structural abnormalities, ovarian cysts, and more within the uterus and cervix.
• Laparoscopic excision of endometriosis and lysis of adhesions: Minimally invasive surgery using either robotic or laparoscopic surgical techniques to remove endometriosis and restore pelvic anatomy to as normal as possible.
• Tubal ligation: A type of permanent birth control, sterilizing the fallopian tubes. This procedure is for women who do not wish to have a future pregnancy.

Nonsurgical Ob-Gyn Procedures

In addition to surgical procedures, our nonsurgical techniques include:

• Hysterosalpingogram (HSG): An X-ray that outlines the shape of the uterus and searches for a blockage in the fallopian tubes.
• Colposcopy: A close examination of the cervix, vagina, and vulva to prevent cervical cancer.
• Endometrial biopsy: A uterine lining sample test to look for abnormal cell growth.
• Sonohysterogram: A safe and painless test like an ultrasound, using sound waves for a noninvasive look inside the uterus.
