Gynecology
| Gynecologists were among the first to use laparscopic surgical techniques many years ago. Today, minimally invasive gynecologic surgery has advanced to the point where many gynecologic disorders can be treated laparoscopically. |
Presbyterian Healthcare surgeons can currently provide minimally invasive gynecologicsurgery in the areas of:
Dilation and curettage is more commonly known as uterine scraping.
Surgical treatment of endometriosis is an option for women whose symptoms recur
after initial treatment with hormones.
Hysterectomy, surgical removal of the uterus, is one of the most commonly performed surgical procedures in the United States.
Hysteroscopy is a procedure used to treat abnormal menstrual bleeding. If menstrual bleeding lasts longer or is heavier than usual it is considered abnormal.
Laparoscopic surgery can be used to remove uterine fibroids.
