Minimally invasive Gynecologic surgery (MIGS)
|
A minimally invasive gynecologic surgeon is specially trained to offer evaluation and treatment for complex benign gynecologic conditions. Our MIGS surgeons are board-certified in OB/GYN and fellowship trained for experience in the management of complex gynecologic conditions such as chronic pelvic pain, endometriosis, and fibroids, while providing minimally invasive approaches when surgical intervention is needed.

A surgeon uses the lighted camera, as well as a variety of small instruments, to complete the procedure. The camera provides the surgeon with a clear view of the procedure, which is projected on high definition digital video monitors located throughout the operating room.
