Fibroids are common, benign tumors present in 70% of women, often presenting with symptoms such as heavy menstrual bleeding, infertility and pain. Many women who have fibroids experience no symptoms, and doctors only find the fibroids during a routine examination.

Our patients have access to the latest fibroid treatments, including hormonal and non-hormonal management, as well as surgical options including minimally-invasive myomectomy (removal of fibroids) and hysterectomy (removal of uterus).

Treatment Options Include:

• Medical management: hormonal & non-hormonal options
• Hysteroscopic myomectomy: for submucosal fibroids (in the lining of the uterus) using Myosure
• Robotic, laparoscopic or abdominal myomectomy
• Minimally invasive hysterectomy

Through tiny, 1-2 cm incisions, surgeons using the da Vinci system can operate with greater precision and control, minimizing the pain and risk associated with large incisions while increasing the likelihood of a fast recovery and excellent clinical outcomes. Robotic surgery can be used as an alternative to open surgery or laparoscopic surgery to treat women with a number of conditions. You may be candidate for robotic surgery if you are facing an operation for uterine fibroids, endometriosis, heavy menstrual bleeding, gynecologic cancer, or pelvic prolapse.
