Gynecologic Surgery

Some conditions that affect part of a woman’s reproductive system require surgery as part of treatment. Millions of women undergo gynecologic procedures every year for cancer, fibroids, endometriosis, and other medical issues.

At Waterbury HEALTH, our expert gynecologic surgeons are trained to perform multiple types of minimally invasive laparoscopic and traditional procedures to treat a wide range of conditions. Together with the rest of our team, which includes experienced anesthesiologists, nurses, and scrub technicians, they ensure the highest quality of care for each patient before, during, and after the procedure.

We treat gynecologic conditions that range from common to more complex, including:

• Fibroids
• Endometriosis
• Pelvic pain
• Menorrhagia
• Cancer (uterine/ovarian/cervical)
• Ovarian cysts

Our board-certified gynecologic surgeons have extensive experience in minimally invasive surgical techniques, which are preferred over traditional “open” surgeries that require a large incision. Patients who undergo minimally invasive surgery can expect fewer complications, less pain and blood loss, a quicker recovery, and less noticeable scarring.

In addition, our surgical team has the most advanced robotic systems in the world at their fingertips. We own two da Vinci® Xi robots with state-of-the-art instrumentation, vision, and features. One is equipped with a dual console that allows two surgeons to perform surgery simultaneously.

We offer the following procedures to our gynecologic patients who require surgery:

• Hysterectomy
• Removal of tubes or ovaries
• Fibroid removal (myomectomy)
• Ovarian cyst or tumor removal
• Diagnostic surgery for pain
• Endometriosis removal
