Minimally invasive gynecological surgery for a faster recovery
Women today have an advantage that their mothers and grandmothers didn’t: They have access to minimally invasive gynecological surgery. Our ObGyns perform minimally invasive surgery either abdominally, with just a few small incisions, or vaginally, with no incisions. The surgeons at Athens ObGyn perform laparoscopic fertility surgery and other procedures to diagnose and treat a variety of women’s issues.
Minimally invasive techniques help women who have problems such as endometriosis, heavy periods and other issues experience less pain and bleeding, a faster recovery, and other advantages that traditional open surgery doesn’t provide.
What is minimally invasive gynecological surgery?
Minimally invasive procedures do not involve a large abdominal incision. Our ObGyns perform this type of fertility surgery using either a few very small incisions for laparoscopic procedures, or no incisions for vaginal techniques. Many surgeries are outpatient or only require a short hospital stay. Minimally invasive surgery has several advantages for patients.
- Less pain
- Lower risk of infection
- Less blood loss
- Quicker recovery time
- Less scarring or no scarring
- Faster return to everyday activities
