What Is Minimally Invasive Surgery?


Find out when minimally invasive gynecological surgery may be right for you.

If you are dealing with a women’s health issue that requires surgery, you want to find a doctor that can provide you with the latest and most advanced surgical techniques and treatment options. Our Arcadia, CA, OBGYNs Dr. Anya Rose and Dr. Megan Gau and the team at Rose Women's Health provide patients with minimally invasive surgery options that promise smaller incisions and a faster recovery time.

What does minimally invasive gynecological surgery entail?

If you’ve been told that you need surgery you may be wondering if minimally invasive surgery is an option for you. Here at our Arcadia, CA, practice, we offer less invasive techniques (better known as laparoscopic surgery) that promise a faster recovery time, less post-procedural pain and smaller incisions. Minimally invasive gynecological surgery can be used to treat,

  • Uterine fibroids and polyps
  • Endometriosis
  • Ectopic pregnancy
  • Ovarian cysts
  • Painful scar tissue (also known as pelvic adhesions)
  • Painful periods
  • Pelvic organ prolapse
  • Heavy menstrual bleeding or irregular bleeding

What are the benefits of minimally invasive surgery?

Thanks to advanced surgical technology, our OBGYN team can offer less invasive, safer and effective surgical options for our patients as compared to traditional surgery. While there are cases in which traditional surgery may be necessary, our goal is to make sure that we always provide the most conservative but most effective treatment option to care for your condition. Some of the benefits of minimally invasive gynecological surgery include,

  • Less pain
  • Smaller incisions, which also means smaller and less visible scars
  • Faster recovery time
  • Able to return to activities sooner
  • Less risk for complications
  • Less bleeding

What types of minimally invasive surgery are possible?

Laparoscopic surgery is the most commonly used minimally invasive surgical technique, which involves making 3-4 small incisions in the pelvis, where surgical tools are then placed to remove scar tissue, fibroids and cysts. Instead of making incisions in the pelvic region, our team can also make incisions directly in the vagina to treat certain gynecological issues (this is often the case with a hysterectomy).

If you have questions about your upcoming minimally invasive surgery, or if you’re dealing with gynecological issues, our Arcadia, CA, team can provide you with the answers, peace of mind and care you deserve. To schedule an evaluation, call Rose Women's Health at (626) 461-7071.
