What is gynecologic surgery? 

Gynecologic surgery refers to procedures performed on a woman’s reproductive system. These surgeries can help diagnose, treat, or manage a variety of conditions that affect the uterus, ovaries, fallopian tubes, cervix or pelvic floor. 

Your doctor may recommend surgery if you have: 

• Abnormal or heavy menstrual bleeding 
• Pelvic pain or pressure 
• Growths such as fibroids, cysts or polyps 
• Endometriosis 
• Pelvic organ prolapse 
• Ovarian or uterine abnormalities 

Our team will work with you to identify the most effective and least invasive surgical option for your condition. 

The benefits of minimally invasive surgery 

When possible, Banner Health surgeons use minimally invasive techniques such as laparoscopic or robot-assisted surgery. These advanced procedures use small incisions and specialized instruments that allow for greater precision and faster healing. 

Compared with traditional open surgery, minimally invasive surgery often results in: 

• Smaller incisions and less scarring 
• Less pain and blood loss 
• Shorter hospital stays 
• Quicker recovery times 
• Lower risk of infection and complications 
• More precise surgical outcomes 

Your doctor will help determine whether a minimally invasive approach is right for you based on your diagnosis, medical history and personal preferences.
