Minimally Invasive Gynecological Surgery at Stafford Hospital
Each year, the expert surgeons at Stafford Hospital carry out hundreds
of minimally-invasive gynecological surgeries to treat a range of conditions,
including:
Abnormal uterine bleeding
Ovarian cysts and masses
Pelvic organ prolapse
Stress urinary incontinence
Endometriosis
Uterine fibroids
Pelvic pain
Infertility (due to detached fallopian tubes)
Patients with these conditions may undergo a laparoscopic surgery, which
uses much smaller incisions than traditional surgery. Stafford Hospital
offers the following laparoscopic procedures:
Hysterectomy
Tubal ligation
Tubal reversal
Ovarian cyst removal
Performing these procedures using minimally-invasive approaches offers
several benefits over traditional surgery. These can include:
Less pain after surgery
Minimal scarring
Shorter recovery time
Lower risk of infection
Some patients who undergo a laparoscopic procedure can return home the
same day—this depends how you are doing and what your surgeon thinks
about your recovery.
