Surgery
Comprehensive open and minimally invasive gynecological surgery, from hysterectomy to diagnostic laparoscopy.
Our providers offer both open and minimally invasive gynecological surgery, right next to Littleton Adventist Hospital. We're equipped to handle a wide range of procedures, including hysterectomies, dilation and curettage, ovarian cyst removal, myomectomies, diagnostic laparoscopy, and laparoscopic tubal ligation, so you can get comprehensive surgical care close to home.
Diagnostic laparoscopy allows our providers to examine your abdominal organs through a small incision, offering a minimally invasive way to diagnose conditions that would otherwise require open surgery. For patients who are certain they don't want future pregnancies, we also offer laparoscopic tubal ligation, a safe, effective form of permanent birth control. Whatever your surgical needs, our team will walk you through your options and what to expect every step of the way.
Hysterectomy
A hysterectomy removes the uterus and is performed when needed to treat conditions like fibroids, endometriosis, or abnormal bleeding that haven't responded to other treatments. Our providers offer both open and minimally invasive approaches, choosing the safest, least invasive option for your specific anatomy and health history.
Dilation u0026amp; Curettage
Dilation and curettage gently removes tissue from the lining of the uterus, often used to diagnose abnormal bleeding, treat incomplete miscarriage, or remove polyps. It's a quick outpatient procedure with a short recovery, and our team will walk you through what to expect before and after.
Diagnostic Laparoscopy
Diagnostic laparoscopy lets our providers examine your abdominal and pelvic organs through a small incision, offering clear answers without the longer recovery of open surgery. It's often used to investigate pelvic pain, infertility, or suspected endometriosis, guiding the right next steps for your care.
Laparoscopic Tubal Ligation
For patients certain they don't want future pregnancies, laparoscopic tubal ligation offers a safe, effective, and permanent form of birth control. Performed through small incisions, it typically allows for a fast recovery, and our providers will make sure you feel confident in this decision before moving forward.
Ovarian Cyst Removal
When an ovarian cyst causes pain or doesn't resolve on its own, we can remove it surgically, often using a minimally invasive approach that preserves healthy ovarian tissue whenever possible. Our goal is always to protect your long-term reproductive health while resolving the issue causing you discomfort.
Myomectomy
A myomectomy removes uterine fibroids while leaving the uterus intact, a good option for patients who want relief from fibroid symptoms without a hysterectomy. Depending on the size and location of your fibroids, this can often be performed using a minimally invasive technique.
