Overview: Minimally Invasive Gynecologic Surgery

Minimally Invasive Gynecologic Surgery

Minimally invasive gynecologic surgery (MIGS) refers to surgical techniques that use small incisions and specialized instruments to perform gynecologic procedures with less tissue trauma and faster recovery times compared to traditional open surgery. MIGS encompasses a variety of surgical procedures aimed at treating gynecologic conditions such as fibroids, endometriosis, ovarian cysts, abnormal uterine bleeding, pelvic organ prolapse, and gynecologic cancers.

Minimally invasive gynecologic surgery offers several potential benefits compared to traditional open surgery, including:

  • Smaller incisions, resulting in less postoperative pain and scarring
  • Reduced risk of complications such as infection and blood loss
  • Shorter hospital stays and faster recovery times
  • Quicker return to normal activities and work

However, not all gynecologic conditions or patients are suitable candidates for minimally invasive surgery. The decision to undergo minimally invasive surgery depends on various factors, including the patient’s medical history, the type and severity of the gynecologic condition, and the surgeon’s expertise and preference.

It’s essential for patients considering minimally invasive gynecologic surgery to discuss their options with their healthcare provider and to receive personalized recommendations based on their individual needs and circumstances.
