Gynecological surgery

Some gynecological conditions require surgical treatment. When that’s the case, our compassionate surgeons have expertise in minimally invasive techniques to help you heal more quickly.

Team-based care and expertise in complex gynecological conditions

While we always strive to treat gynecological conditions with a conservative approach, sometimes surgery is the best option to restore your health. Our gynecological surgeons have renowned expertise in minimally invasive surgical procedures, including laparoscopy and robotic-assisted surgery. We receive referrals from doctors all over the region to help people with complex conditions receive the care they need.

Our multidisciplinary approach to your care gives you access to specialists in gynecology, urogynecology, and gynecologic oncology, when appropriate. We can also coordinate procedures with different specialists to perform multiple procedures during one surgery if needed.

Conditions we treat

Gynecological surgery services at Penn Medicine

We offer advanced procedures for gynecological conditions, including minimally invasive techniques and traditional open surgery when necessary. A minimally invasive procedure helps you avoid a large abdominal incision. Our procedures require only small incisions measuring less than an inch each. The benefits include faster recovery, less pain, smaller scars, and a shorter hospital stay.

Your provider may recommend one of these options, depending on your condition:
