The Division of Minimally Invasive Gynecologic Surgery at Brigham and Women’s Hospital (BWH) provides comprehensive care for women with conditions including uterine fibroids, abnormal uterine bleeding, pelvic pain, endometriosis, pelvic organ prolapse, cervical incompetence and ovarian cysts, offering the latest minimally invasive and non-invasive options for these conditions.
Our team strives to provide a safer and more effective alternative to traditional open surgery by performing most of our procedures via laparoscopy or hysteroscopy. By avoiding the need for a large abdominal incision, our patients recover more quickly with less pain. Certain procedures can be performed in the doctor’s office without the need for general anesthesia or a hospital admission. Our physicians also collaborate with other Brigham and Women’s Hospital specialists in urogynecology, gynecologic oncology, pediatric and adolescent gynecology and reproductive endocrinology to offer comprehensive, multidisciplinary care.
