Robotic/Laparoscopic Surgery Specialist

What are my surgery options?

At Capital Women’s Care, the team is committed to providing their patients with progressive and personalized surgical care for gynecologic conditions. They offer a wide range of minimally invasive approaches, including hysteroscopic, laparoscopic, and robotic surgery.

Instead of having your surgery performed through a large incision on your abdomen, Capital Women’s Care takes the most minimally invasive route to perform your procedure. That often means making a few tiny incisions and using robotic instruments to reach through them to perform your procedure. Your Capital Women’s Care surgeon also uses a laparoscope, a long, thin device with a small camera at the end to see the surgery site without needing to open up the area. 

The gynecological surgeons at Capital Women’s Care have extensive training and are well-versed in performing minimally invasive laparoscopic and hysteroscopic gynecological surgeries for cases that would otherwise be performed via a large abdominal incision. They are fellows of the American Association of Gynecologic Laparoscopic Surgeons.

What kind of robotic and laparoscopic surgery is available?

At Capital Women’s Care, the gynecological surgeons offer minimally invasive surgery to provide comprehensive care for women with conditions including:

• Uterine fibroids
• Abnormal uterine bleeding
• Pelvic pain
• Endometriosis
• Pelvic organ prolapse
• Cervical incompetence
• Ovarian cysts
  
  

Capital Women’s Care offers the latest minimally invasive options for a wide variety of conditions. They are dedicated to providing a safer and more effective alternative to traditional open surgery by performing the vast majority of procedures via laparoscopy.

What should I expect after surgery?

During your robotic and laparoscopic surgery, your Capital Women’s Care surgeon implements the enhanced recovery after surgery (ERAS) protocols. These protocols are designed to deliver:

• Significantly less postoperative pain
• Less blood loss
• Fewer complications
• Less scarring
• A shorter hospital stay (if any)
• A faster return to normal daily activities (like driving)
• Decreased risk of infection

With robotic and laparoscopic surgery, Capital Women’s Care offers you a less invasive procedure and a notably shorter recovery period. To learn more about this surgery type and if it’s right for you, call Capital Women’s Care or request an appointment online.
