Surgery

When a surgery is needed or required, our team provides top-notch care

Rest assured, our caring team is here for you. When you require an intervention such as surgery, we provide the pre- and post-care needed to make surgery a success. OB GYN Specialists of Lima performs a variety of surgical procedures and robotic surgery to treat various women’s health conditions. Here are a few procedures we are capable of.

Hysteroscopy

An outpatient surgery performed to assess the cavity of the uterus. A small camera is inserted through the dilated cervix to allow the interior of the uterus to be visualized. This procedure is often combined with a D&C. Polyps, fibroids, and other intrauterine masses may be evaluated and sometimes removed in this way.

Dilation and Curettage (D&C)

A surgery used for the diagnosis and treatment of abnormal bleeding. A similar procedure may be performed following a miscarriage. The cervix is gently opened with dilators, and an instrument is then inserted through the cervix to clear the uterine cavity.

Hysterectomy

Major surgical procedure used to treat various gynecological conditions such as fibroids, abnormal bleeding, pelvic pain, and prolapse. The uterus is removed (and sometimes the tubes and ovaries), via robotic incisions, vaginally or through an incision on the abdomen. This type of surgery may be recommended when other more conservative therapies have not provided adequate results.

Laparoscopy

A surgery involving the placement of a camera and the use of specialized instruments, introduced through small abdominal incisions. Operations performed through the laparoscope allow the advantage of shorter hospital stays, less postoperative pain, and a more rapid recovery period for the patient. Various procedures may be performed in this way including treatment of endometriosis, ovarian cysts, as well as the evaluation of pelvic pain or infertility.

Endometrial Ablation

An outpatient surgical procedure used to treat heavy or prolonged menstrual periods by destroying the superficial tissue layer of the uterine cavity. Often a hysteroscopy and D&C are performed along with this procedure.

Tubal Ligation (Sterilization)

A procedure performed for women who request a permanent means of pregnancy prevention. The tubal ligation may be done as an outpatient procedure through the laparoscope. The procedure may include removing the fallopian tubes, or sealing the tubes with an electric current. Tubal sterilization prevents the sperm from reaching the egg.

Robotic Surgery

The robotic surgery is an effective minimally invasive alternative to both open and laparoscopic surgery. Robotic surgery offers smaller incisions, significantly less postoperative pain, shorter hospital stay, faster return to normal daily activities, and the potential for overall better clinical outcomes.
