Minimally Invasive Services

Minimally invasive gynecologic surgery has transformed the way many patients get complex conditions treated.

This approach offers significant benefits, including reduced pain, faster recovery times, and a lower risk of complications compared to traditional open surgery. For many women, these advancements mean a quicker return to their daily lives and improved overall well-being.

At Upstate Community OBGYN & Midwifery, we are proud to offer expert laparoscopic surgery tailored to meet the unique needs of each patient. Whether managing endometriosis, removing troublesome ovarian cysts or fibroids, or treating pelvic pain, our team is committed to delivering you the highest-quality care.

Laparoscopic Surgery

Minimally invasive laparoscopic surgery is an advanced technique used to diagnose and treat various medical conditions with precision and care.

Unlike traditional open surgery, which requires larger incisions, laparoscopy is performed using just a few small incisions. A device, called a laparoscope, is then inserted into your treated area through the small incisions. This allows our surgeons to view your anatomy on a screen in real time and treat your condition effectively.

Smaller incisions mean significantly less pain, reduced scarring, and faster recovery for patients. This approach also lowers the risk of infections, which are more common with traditional surgical methods.

Benefits of Laparoscopic Surgery

By offering a less invasive alternative to open surgery, laparoscopy allows patients to return to their routines and enjoy improved healing outcomes sooner.

Just a few benefits of this minimally invasive technique are:

  • Smaller incisions
  • Minimal scarring
  • Reduced pain
  • Faster recovery
  • Lower risk of complications

Conditions Treated with Laparoscopic Surgery

Laparoscopic surgery is a highly effective approach for diagnosing and treating a wide range of gynecologic conditions.

Our skilled gynecologists often use laparoscopic surgery to treat the following:

Endometriosis involves tissue similar to the lining of the uterus growing outside it. This often results in pain, inflammation, and fertility challenges. Laparoscopic surgery helps remove the abnormal tissue with precision, alleviating pain and improving quality of life while preserving fertility whenever possible.

While many ovarian cysts resolve on their own, some become painful or cause other complications. Laparoscopy allows for the safe removal of problematic cysts while preserving healthy ovarian tissue and supporting reproductive health.

Fibroids are noncancerous growths that form in or around the uterus. Without treatment, they can cause heavy bleeding, pain, and fertility issues. Laparoscopy provides a minimally invasive way to surgically remove fibroids, helping relieve symptoms while preserving the health of the uterus.

Chronic pelvic pain can have various underlying causes, many of which are difficult to diagnose through traditional methods. Laparoscopic surgery allows specialists to explore, diagnose, and address specific pain sources. This technique provides our patients with long-awaited relief.

An ectopic pregnancy, where a fertilized egg implants outside the uterus, requires prompt care to prevent serious complications. Understanding the sensitivity of this condition, we offer laparoscopy with minimal pain and scarring. This allows our patients to heal without the added stressors of a lengthy recovery.
