At ��ɫtv Langone, our gynecologic surgeons are committed to excellence through expertise. We use minimally invasive surgical techniques like laparoscopy and robotic-assisted laparoscopic surgery. But the mastery lies in our ability to pair the right procedure with the right patient, ensuring that each person receives a distinct treatment plan best targeted to their individual needs.

By using minimally invasive treatments, our patients experience faster recovery times, reduced pain, smaller incisions, and shorter hospital stays. These are some of the conditions we treat:

• heavy or painful menstrual periods
• endometriosis
• fibroids
• ovarian cysts
• ovarian remnant syndrome
• adenomyosis, in which the endometrial lining grows into the muscular wall of the uterus
• adenomyoma, which is a benign tumor
• pelvic adhesions
• cervical insufficiency or incompetence
• chronic pelvic pain
• pelvic organ prolapse
• urinary incontinence
• congenital anomalies of the reproductive system

Our Treatment Approach

��ɫtv Langone gynecologic surgeons use the most advanced laparoscopic and robotic surgical techniques. Our specialists are experienced in urogynecology, pelvic reconstructive surgery, minimally invasive surgery, robotic surgery, and pediatric and adolescent gynecology.

Your care begins with using the most accurate and advanced diagnosis strategies to develop a treatment plan customized to your condition and your care goals. We support our patients with access to fertility services, nutrition guidance, mental health services, and physical therapy. We also address the needs of the LGBTQ+ community, providing respectful and inclusive care that is focused on the whole person.

Procedures We Perform

Laparoscopic and robotic procedures use only small incisions and have a shorter recovery time than other methods. Those we perform include the following:

• excision of endometriosis, including deep, infiltrating endometriosis involving bowel, bladder, and extrapelvic sites
• myomectomy, the surgical removal of fibroids
• hysterectomy, the surgical removal of the uterus
• management of ovarian cysts or masses
• cerclage, to treat cervical insufficiency and help prevent miscarriage
• prolapse repair

Hysteroscopic procedures, which use a light scope to examine the cervix and uterus, include the following:

• resection (removal) of endometrial polyp
• resection of submucosal fibroid
• resection of uterine septum
• lysis of adhesions to treat Asherman’s syndrome
• endometrial ablation

We also perform transcervical fibroid ablation, an ultrasound procedure also known by the brand name Sonata that is used to shrink fibroids.

Specialized Surgical Care

For people living with endometriosis and fibroids, we offer an integrative care approach that addresses your treatment goals, including preserving or improving fertility. At our Center for Fibroid Care, we provide uterine-preserving treatments that include robotic-assisted myomectomy, uterine artery embolization, and radiofrequency ablation.

Doctors at our Endometriosis Center specialize in treatments that align with a woman’s fertility goals. This includes conservative, fertility-preserving surgery that removes endometriosis, and hysterectomy that removes the uterus as well as all endometriosis for people who do not wish to maintain future fertility.

To optimize patient outcomes, minimally invasive gynecologic surgeons collaborate with other specialists at ��ɫtv Langone, including those in reproductive endocrinology, infertility, maternal–fetal medicine, colorectal surgery, urology, vascular surgery, interventional radiology, pain psychology, and physical therapy.
