Gynecology

---

Gynecologists offer specialized medical care for the female reproductive system. From an early age – and throughout the physical and hormonal changes of life – many women require specialized, gynecologic care. Board-certified gynecology providers at Santa Rosa Medical Center offer many services for women, including annual exams, care through pregnancy and treatment for gynecological cancer and urinary incontinence.

Your Minimally Invasive GYN Surgery Options
Whenever possible, gynecologic surgeons at Santa Rosa Medical Center use minimally invasive techniques to perform surgeries. Minimally invasive procedures may result in fewer and smaller incisions, less postoperative pain, shorter hospital stays and quicker recovery. (Talk to your doctor to learn more about potential risks and benefits.) Minimally invasive surgery may be used to treat conditions including, but not limited to:

• Uterine fibroids: Tumors that grow within the womb. These are typically not cancerous, though they can cause pain and excessive bleeding.
• Endometriosis: A medical disorder in which the tissue that forms the lining of the uterus grows outside the uterine cavity.
• Polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS): A condition in which a woman’s estrogen and progesterone levels are imbalanced.

Furthermore, many gynecologic surgeons at Santa Rosa Medical Center specialize in:

• Laparoscopic techniques: Also called “bandaid surgery” or “keyhole surgery,” laparoscopic surgery is a technique in which doctors perform operations through tiny surgical incisions and the assistance of an intraoperative camera.
• Robotic surgery: A minimally invasive procedure that is robotically assisted, this type of surgery allows for more accuracy, control and precision.
