Minimally Invasive Surgery Q&A
Minimally invasive surgery requires only small incisions to treat a variety of gynecological conditions. The benefit of this type of surgery is that it causes less trauma to your body than traditional surgery might, so you can recover faster.
The surgical team at McDowell Mountain Gynecology provides a variety of specialized surgeries on an outpatient basis in the on-site, state-of-the-art surgical suite or at an area hospital. They use minimally invasive surgery to treat:
Minimally invasive surgery can also treat pelvic organ prolapse, a condition where your reproductive structures fall down into the vaginal canal due to weak muscles. This condition is common after childbirth and in your menopausal and post-menopausal years.
McDowell Mountain Gynecology offers a variety of minimally invasive surgeries to meet your unique needs.
The surgical team uses laparoscopic techniques that involve specialized surgical tools that fit through small incisions. A scope with an attached camera sends images of your internal structures to an external monitor. Your provider views the images to make repairs or remove abnormal growths.
The da Vinci Surgical System combines robotic and computer technologies, which allows treatment of a broader range of conditions using a minimally invasive approach.
Dr. Spieldoch has received Master's training in robotic surgery and is highly skilled in the use of the da Vinci Surgical System. She is experienced in the most advanced, minimally invasive laparoscopic procedures.
