Minimally invasive surgery is surgery that uses certain techniques to operate on the body with the least and smallest incisions possible.
The team at Dr. Gregory Shifrin OBGYN PC uses minimally invasive tools to provide services like:
Minimally invasive surgery can also repair pelvic floor and bladder injuries.
Broadly, the practice uses three main types of minimally invasive procedures:
Hysteroscopic procedures use hysteroscopes to look inside the uterus. Hysteroscopes are narrow telescopes equipped with a tiny light and camera that doctors feed into the uterus via the vagina and cervix, eliminating the need for any incisions.
Hysteroscopic procedures are popular for procedures like fibroid and polyp removal and displaced IUD removal. Hysteroscopies are also a popular alternative to traditional D&C procedures, during which doctors examine and remove abnormal uterine growths.
Laparoscopy procedures use a series of several small cuts to insert multiple tubes into the body. Inside these tubes, doctors slide tiny cameras and surgical instruments into the body, where they diagnose and treat issues like ectopic pregnancies and endometriosis.
Though they do require a few small incisions, laparoscopic surgeries cause less pain, heal quicker, produce fewer internal and external scars, and offer shorter downtimes than traditional procedures.
During robotic procedures, doctors use computer-controlled technology to help them perform surgery. Like laparoscopic procedures, this type of minimally invasive surgery relies on small incisions on the abdomen to insert surgical instruments into the body. These instruments are miniaturized and mounted on three robotic arms, which surgeons control to perform delicate procedures with extreme precision.
Regardless of the type, with minimally invasive surgery, you can get the care you need and return to your regularly scheduled life more rapidly.
Minimally invasive gynecologic surgeries offer patients numerous benefits over traditional surgery, including:
Minimally invasive surgery is the present and future of gynecological surgery.
