In addition to performing common gynecological procedures such as total abdominal hysterectomy, vaginal hysterectomy, laparoscopic-assisted vaginal hysterectomy (LAVH), oopherectomy (removal of the ovaries), cystocele and rectocele repairs (anterior and posterior repairs), and laparoscopic tubal ligation, our physicians remain of the cutting edge of gynecologic surgery.  These surgeries include procedures for pelvic floor relaxation problems, including stress urinary incontinence.  Most procedures performed are minimally invasive and are very successful in alleviating pelvic floor relaxation problems.  We employ some of the newer mesh techniques to help prevent surgical failures.

We also perform minimally invasive laparoscopy and hysteroscopy, as well as endometrial ablation.  Endometrial ablation is an effective alternative to hysterectomy for certain women who are having very heavy or prolonged menstrual flow or irregular vaginal bleeding.  Since this is done vaginally and there is no incision, the recovery time is very short.  90% of patients who have this procedure are satisfied with the results, noting a significant decrease in menstrual flow.  Some patients report that their periods stop altogether following endometrial ablation.  www.novasure.com.
