Highlands offers advanced care for patients with a gynecological conditions that require surgery.  Many gynecological conditions, such as severe endometriosis, may require surgery to further evaluate the condition or as a treatment method. If you have a condition that requires surgical evaluation or treatment, the OB/GYN physicians at Highlands will help you understand the procedure so you are thoroughly informed about your care.

At Highlands we can perform many gynecological surgery procedures laparoscopically. Laparoscopic surgeries are minimally-invasive, which means they do not require a large incision and have faster healing times. The procedures are performed by inserting a thin probe into your body, allowing your physician to see internal areas of the body. Sometimes laparoscopic procedures are diagnostic tools used only to give your physician a better view into what is happening inside your body. However, in many cases your physician can treat your condition laparoscopically at the same time. Many physicians at Highlands are experts in minimally-invasive gynecological surgery. 

Highlands is one of a very few practices now performing Single Incision Laparoscopic Surgery (SILS) Hysterectomy, which performs a hysterectomy using a single incision through the belly button.
