At Weill Cornell Medicine, our team includes gynecologic surgeons who are highly trained in the most advanced and effective gynecologic surgery procedures, including minimally invasive techniques.

We understand that gynecologic surgery is very personal, and it can be an overwhelming or isolating process. Our care team is here for you during every step to ensure that you always feel supported, empowered with information, and comfortable.

Many non-cancerous (benign) gynecologic conditions can be treated with surgery, such as heavy periods, endometriosis, fibroids, and more. Traditional (open) surgery uses a large incision to access the uterus to treat the conditions. Minimally invasive techniques use smaller incisions with thin tubes or may even be incisionless. Patients benefit from smaller incisions and no incisions because it is less painful and faster to recover from. They can return to their normal daily activities faster than traditional (open) surgery.

Why Choose Weill Cornell Medicine for Treatment of Benign Gynecologic Conditions?
