"Laparoscopic Gynecologic Surgeries" utilize a tiny camera and three 1 cm incisions on the abdomen , one being placed in the umbilicus (belly button). This method can be used to treat a variety of ailments during pregnancy, including Ectopic Pregnancy, Ovarian Cysts, Endometriosis, Pelvic Pain, Hysterectomy, and Myomectomy (the removal of fibroid tumors). It can also be used for sterilization procedures such as Tubal Ligation, etc. Almost any procedure that was done years ago can now be performed via the laparoscope. This allows minimal recovery time, minimal post-operative pain, and virtually no scarring. Most procedures take only 1-2 hours to perform, with most patients returning home from the hospital the same day. At the Advanced Women's Health Center, you can rest assured that your doctor will have the time to get to know you as an individual, and address your medical concerns completely. |
