vNOTES

vNOTES, or vaginal natural orifice transluminal endoscopic surgery, is an advanced scarless approach performed through the vagina without visible abdominal incisions. It may be used for hysterectomy, tubal ligation, and selected gynecologic procedures. For appropriate patients, vNOTES may help reduce pain, avoid visible scars, and support faster recovery.

Laparoscopic Surgery

Laparoscopic surgery uses small abdominal incisions and a camera to treat conditions such as endometriosis, fibroids, ovarian cysts, pelvic adhesions, and hysterectomy.

Robotic-Assisted Surgery

Robotic-assisted surgery provides enhanced visualization, precision, and dexterity for selected complex gynecologic procedures, including hysterectomy and myomectomy.
