Surgical Procedures
The physicians at Midwest Center for Women’s HealthCare are experienced surgeons offering minimally invasive procedures in our office and in the hospital, depending on the specific needs and preferences of our patients. We specialize in the following minimally invasive surgical procedures:
Laparoscopy
This is a minimally invasive surgery utilizing small incisions and the aid of a camera to diagnose a condition or perform surgery. It is often used to address the following conditions:
- Pelvic Pain
- Endometriosis
- Cysts
Hysterectomy
In this surgery, the uterus is removed either partially or completely. The surgery may be performed in three manners:
- Laparoscopic Surgery - a minimally invasive surgery in which the surgeon uses a flexible tube that has a light and camera to better view the interior of the body while controlling the surgical instruments.
- DaVinci Surgery – a minimally invasive, robot-assisted surgery in which a physician controls the surgical instruments through a small incision. To learn more about da Vinci surgery, click here.
- Open Surgery – a traditional surgery using a long incision through which surgeons place surgical instruments.
Hysteroscopy
This procedure allows a physician to look inside the uterus. It if often used to diagnose or treat the following conditions:
- Abnormal Bleeding
- Polyps
- Fibroids
If you are experiencing any of these symptoms and are finding that medication or non-invasive procedures are not helping, ask your doctor about surgical options that may be available to you.
