Minimally Invasive Gynecologic Surgery

The Minimally Invasive Gynecologic Surgery (MIGS) Center at Massachusetts General Hospital is dedicated to providing individualized, minimally invasive surgery options to diagnose and treat the full range of gynecologic conditions and improve our patients’ quality of life.
 
Minimally invasive surgical procedures are associated with significantly less blood loss during surgery, less scarring, less postoperative pain and faster recovery than traditional open surgery. This allows patients to recover faster and return to their lives and daily activities with improved quality of life.
 
The MIGS Center team treats gynecologic conditions including:
  • Adenomyosis
  • Bleeding issues, including abnormal bleeding, heavy or abnormal periods (menorrhagia), and peri- or post-menopausal bleeding
  • Cervical or endometrial polyps
  • Endometriosis
  • Ovarian cysts and pelvic masses
  • Painful periods (dysmenorrhea)
  • Pelvic pain and pelvic inflammatory disease (PID)
  • Pelvic scar tissue (adhesions)
  • Simple or complex ovarian cysts
  • Teratomas/dermoids
  • Tubo-ovarian abscess
  • Uterine fibroids

Urogynecology

Our urogynecologists provide specialty care for a wide variety of pelvic floor disorders, including:

They specialize in minimally invasive surgical approaches, including laparoscopy and robotically assisted surgery. Patients can receive the full spectrum of care at the convenient Danvers location including consultations, office visits, nonsurgical procedures, and outpatient surgery.

Urogynecology and Reconstructive Pelvic Surgery takes pride in developing individualized urogynecological treatment plans for each patient, incorporating the most advanced surgical and nonsurgical options available. Our treatment philosophy, and the preference of most patients, is to avoid surgery whenever possible. Many conditions can be treated using nonsurgical approaches. For patients who require surgery, we are committed to leveraging minimally invasive procedures that involve less pain and a shorter recovery time.
