Minimally invasive surgery includes procedures such as laparoscopy and hysteroscopy, which are used for both diagnostic and operative purposes. Often, one or both of these procedures may be recommended as part of an evaluation for infertility, or as a treatment method for various gynecologic conditions. All of the physicians at The Reproductive Medicine Group have extensive experience performing these procedures. Successful, safe surgery is our highest priority

Diagnostic laparoscopy procedures can assist with the diagnosis of many gynecological conditions. Operative laparoscopy may be used to treat conditions such as: opening blocked fallopian tubes, and removing endometriosis, pelvic adhesions, ovarian cysts and uterine fibroids. Laparoscopy procedures are performed on an outpatient basis under general anesthesia. Generally, patients are able to return home the day of surgery.

Diagnostic hysteroscopy is used as an evaluation tool to examine the uterine cavity. During operative hysteroscopy conditions such as uterine polyps, fibroids or congenital malformations can be treated. Commonly, a hysteroscopy is performed at the same time as a laparoscopy in order to ensure an accurate and comprehensive evaluation of the uterine cavity. These procedures are also performed on an outpatient basis, and patients are able to return home the day of surgery.
