Gynecologic surgery
If conservative treatments do not relieve pain or other symptoms of gynecologic conditions, surgery may be recommended. Our surgical options for these conditions are highly advanced and typically minimally invasive, which translates to a shorter recovery time for you.
Some gynecologic procedures we perform include:
- Endometrial resection
- Hysterectomy
- Myomectomy
- Ovarian cystectomy
Robotic gynecologic surgery
Our surgeons use robot-assisted surgery to perform many gynecologic procedures, including robotic hysterectomy. Using this advanced type of minimally invasive surgical technology, the surgeon has extreme precision while operating through tiny incisions. This translates into shorter hospital stays, faster recoveries and less scarring for our patients.
Pelvic floor physical therapy
Some women's pelvic floor conditions, such as incontinence or pelvic organ prolapse, can be resolved and improved by strengthening the muscles supporting the pelvic area. This is why we provide pelvic floor therapy as part of our physical therapy and rehabilitation services. Through a personalized therapy plan, our physical therapists can help restore your quality of life.
