Minimally invasive gynecologic surgery
We use small incisions and advanced techniques to treat many gynecologic conditions, often with less pain, less scarring and a faster return to daily activities.
Benefits of minimally invasive gynecologic surgery
Women who may need an open hysterectomy or other major gynecological procedures and are concerned about a lengthy recovery have another option – minimally invasive gynecologic surgery (MIGS). These state-of-the-art procedures use small incisions, which results in shorter hospital stays and a faster return to daily activities. Many MIGS can even be performed on an outpatient basis.
Atlantic Health MIGS surgeons are board-certified, fellowship-trained, gynecology specialists with experience in the use of hysteroscopic, laparoscopic and robotic-assisted techniques to address both common and complex conditions of the female anatomy.
Women who seek care from a gynecology specialist trained in MIGS often benefit greatly. Advantages include less pain, blood loss and scarring, as well as a decreased risk of infection.

Explore treatment options for uterine fibroids
Uterine fibroids are one of the most common benign gynecologic conditions that can affect up to 70% of women during the reproductive years. For most, these non-cancerous growths in the uterus never become a problem. But for others, they can bring on a host of complications that impact health and fertility.
