Minimally Invasive Gynecologic Surgery
NGMC Gainesville was the first in the state to receive a Center of Excellence designation in Minimally Invasive Gynecology.
Many gynecologic procedures can be performed using minimally invasive techniques, which are designed to reduce pain, shorten recovery time and help you return to daily activities more quickly.
Robotic surgery is an advanced form of minimally invasive surgery that provides enhanced precision, flexibility and visualization. With robotic surgery, the incisions made in your body by your surgeon are much smaller than the cut made during open surgery. Benefits include faster recoveries, shorter hospital stays, and fewer complications.
This approach can be used for:
- Hysterectomies
- Uterine fibroid surgery
- Bladder, vaginal and uterine prolapse surgery
- Gynecologic cancer surgery
Laparoscopic surgery uses a thin camera and specialized instruments inserted through small incisions in the abdomen. This approach allows your surgeon to diagnose and treat many conditions with less discomfort and a shorter hospital stay compared to traditional open surgery.
Common laparoscopic procedures include, but are not limited to:
- Treatment of endometriosis
- Removal of ovarian cysts
- Hysterectomy
- Fibroid removal
Urogynecology
Our urogynecologists specialize in conditions that affect the pelvic floor and bladder. These issues are common — but they don’t have to be part of everyday life. We offer surgical and non-surgical options. With compassionate care and advanced expertise, our team helps women restore comfort, confidence, and quality of life.
