Diagnostic and operative laparoscopy is a medical and surgical revolution, letting doctors look directly into a patient’s abdomen using a tiny video camera. This helps physicians discover problems that might otherwise go undetected, and then treat them with great precision.

Laparoscopy using only tiny incisions, so recovery time is roughly half of open abdominal surgery. Most patients return home after one day – sometimes even the same day of surgery. Our department of Gynecologic Oncologist have perfected laproscopic procedures. Their surgical services include:

• Treatment of gynecologic cancer including: cervical, ovarian and endometrial cancers
• Hysterectomy
• Removal of ovarian cysts
• Treatment of endometrosis
• Treatment of Fibroids
