Why Laparoscopy?

Traditionally GYN surgery is an invasive process involving large incisions, prolonged hospital stays, and long recovery periods.

As an example, most hysterectomies were performed through a large abdominal incision, with recuperation time of about 6 weeks.

Vaginal hysterectomy was the second most common approach.  In this type of hysterectomy the uterus is removed through the vagina. By avoiding the abdominal incision, pain and disfigurement is less, and recuperation time was about 4 weeks.

Science has now made it possible to perform GYN surgery with fewer risks, less pain, and decreased recovery time.

The laparoscopic hysterectomy procedure uses 1 / 2 inch incisions, and the uterus is removed from the pelvis through the vagina. This approach is associated with even less pain and post-operative recuperation time because the incisions are tiny, and tissue injury is less.

Laparoscopy is used for a variety of GYN surgeries. It can be used to treat other diseases of the pelvis (such as adhesions or endometriosis.)

Most gynecologists are not familiar with, nor are they skilled in this technique.  Zweibach Women's Health physicians have performed many, many laparoscopic procedures.  They realized the many benefits that this type of surgery would provide their patients, so they made it their goal to increase their knowledge and skill in this technique.  Their knowledge allows you to have a choice in your GYN surgical options.

If you are diagnosed with a pelvic disease, or require a hysterectomy discuss your options with one of the doctors at Zweibach Women's Health.
