Surgeries
Your journey to optimal health may begin with non-surgical methods, and if surgery becomes part of your plan, you deserve a team focused on your comfort and well-being every step of the way. At Women’s Health Institute, we understand how stressful facing a gynecological concern can be. That is why Dr. Umerah and his team offer a personalized approach, exploring all options with you before discussing minimally invasive surgical solutions tailored to your unique needs.
Knowledgeable Care, Personalized Approach
Our team comprises highly skilled and board-certified surgeons specializing in women’s health. They possess extensive experience in performing a wide range of gynecological surgical services, including:
- Minimally invasive surgery. These advanced techniques allow for smaller incisions, faster recovery times, and minimized discomfort compared to traditional open surgery.
- Hysterectomy. This procedure can be performed laparoscopically or robotically and for various reasons, including fibroids, endometriosis, or heavy bleeding.
- Myomectomy: Fibroids are common benign tumors of the uterus. Myomectomy removes them while preserving the uterus, which can be potentially beneficial for future pregnancy desires.
- Endometriosis treatment: Endometriosis is a condition where endometrial tissue implants outside the uterus. We offer laparoscopic procedures to remove or ablate these implants.
- Ovarian cyst removal: Ovarian cysts are fluid-filled sacs that can form on the ovaries. Through our laparoscopy services, our team can diagnose and remove most cysts successfully.
- Pelvic prolapse repair: Pelvic prolapse occurs when pelvic floor muscles weaken, causing organs to shift downward. We offer various surgical approaches to address this issue.
- Urinary incontinence procedures: Different surgical options can be explored to treat urinary incontinence, a condition causing involuntary loss of urine. At Women’s Health Institute, we offer state-of-the-art solutions to incontinence, including urodynamic testing.
