16 Jul What Is Minimally Invasive Gynecologic Surgery?
If you’ve been told you may need surgery to treat a gynecologic condition, you may be wondering about your options. Traditional open surgery is no longer the only path forward. Today, many women can benefit from minimally invasive gynecologic surgery, which is a safer, faster, and less painful alternative.
Understanding what minimally invasive surgery involves can help you make informed decisions about your care.
How It Works
Minimally invasive gynecologic surgery uses specialized techniques to perform procedures through small incisions, often just a few millimeters long. Rather than making a large abdominal cut, surgeons use advanced tools and cameras to treat conditions with greater precision and less trauma to the body.
At our practice, Dr. Paul MacKoul specializes in innovative, minimally invasive approaches designed to help women recover faster and get back to their lives sooner.
Conditions That Can Be Treated
Many common gynecologic conditions can now be treated with minimally invasive techniques, including:
- Uterine fibroids
- Endometriosis
- Ovarian cysts
- Pelvic adhesions
- Abnormal bleeding
- Early-stage gynecologic cancers
If you’ve been diagnosed with one of these conditions or told you need surgery, it’s worth exploring whether a minimally invasive approach is right for you.
Benefits of Minimally Invasive Surgery
Compared to traditional open surgery, minimally invasive procedures offer significant advantages:
- Smaller incisions
- Less pain after surgery
- Lower risk of infection
- Shorter hospital stays (often same-day discharge)
- Faster return to normal activities
- Minimal scarring
These benefits not only improve physical recovery but also help women return to their personal and professional lives with greater ease.
