Gynecology

Conditions We Treat

The gynecology program incorporates state-of-the-art, minimally invasive surgical technologies which have revolutionized the practice of gynecology. Using these technologies has transformed many gynecologic procedures, from traditional surgeries that required days of hospitalization and weeks of recovery, to minimally invasive procedures that can be performed on an outpatient basis and reduce recuperation times to just days.

The Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology currently has many accomplished minimally invasive surgeons using the da Vinci® Surgical System. Our department has continued to explore the use of this advanced telerobotic technology in performing a variety of benign and malignant gynecologic conditions. In addition to a wide range of gynecological conditions, our physicians provide family planning and birth control management, as well as hormone replacement therapies. They also offer cancer screening and adolescent care.
