Surgical Expertise in Gynecologic Care
Our gynecologic oncology surgeons are highly trained in advanced surgical techniques to treat gynecologic cancers, helping patients achieve optimal outcomes.
Depending on your diagnosis, these techniques may include:
• Hysterectomy: Removal of the uterus and cervix, with options for total or radical approaches based on the cancer type and stage.
• Oophorectomy/Salpingo-Oophorectomy: Removal of ovaries and often fallopian tubes to treat or prevent ovarian cancer.
• Lymphadenectomy: Removal of lymph nodes to determine and limit cancer spread.
• Debulking Surgery: Reduces tumor mass, especially for advanced ovarian cancer, to improve chemotherapy results.
• Cytoreductive Surgery with HIPEC: Combines tumor removal with heated chemotherapy in the abdomen to treat advanced cancers.
• Fertility-Sparing Surgery: Options to preserve fertility for early-stage cervical or ovarian cancers.
When appropriate, we also provide minimally invasive procedures such as:
- Laparoscopy: Uses small incisions and a camera to remove tumors with minimal disruption, often for early-stage cancers.
- Robotic Surgery: Provides enhanced precision and control, allowing for complex procedures, such as hysterectomies and lymph node removal, with less recovery time.
