FAQ

What is minimally invasive gynecologic surgery?

The term minimally invasive gynecologic surgery is defined by using small incisions, typically less than one-half inch long. You may need one or several tiny incisions in your abdomen or one incision in your vagina, depending on the type of surgery.

This type of surgery is possible thanks to advanced surgical instruments designed to fit through small incisions. One of the primary instruments, a laparoscope, is a long, narrow tube equipped with lighting and a video camera.

The video camera sends magnified images to a monitor, giving Dr. Aldabbagh a better view than surgeons have during open surgery.

When performing abdominal laparoscopy, Dr. Aldabbagh inserts the laparoscope through one incision in your lower tummy and then makes a few other incisions for the other surgical instruments. He manipulates the instruments from outside your body while viewing the image on the monitor.

Why should I consider minimally invasive gynecologic surgery?

Small incisions cause significantly less tissue damage compared to open surgery, offering benefits such as:

Less bleeding during surgery
Less pain after surgery
Lower risk of complications
Faster healing
Quicker return to activities
Barely visible scars

You may be able to go home the same day, but if you can’t, your hospital stay will be shorter than if you had open surgery.
