What are surgical services?
Surgical services refer to the various procedures, tools, and techniques used to treat gynecological conditions.
Dr. Sylvester is a board-certified obstetrician and gynecologist with more than two decades of experience. Though she may initially take a conservative approach to manage your gynecological needs, surgery may be necessary in some cases.
Dr. Sylvester has expert training in the latest surgical tools and methods, so you get the best possible outcomes.
What are the types of surgical services?
Dr. Sylvester offers many types of surgical services to adequately address a wide range of health needs. These surgical services include:
Robotic surgery
Robotic surgery is an advanced surgical technique combining minimally invasive tools with automated technology. Dr. Sylvester performs complex procedures with smaller incisions, better accuracy, and greater flexibility with robotic surgery.
Laparoscopy
Laparoscopy is a minimally invasive surgical technique allowing Dr. Sylvester to perform gynecological surgery through small incisions in your abdomen.
Hysteroscopy
Dr. Sylvester uses a thin, flexible, lighted magnifying device (hysteroscope) to evaluate your cervix and uterus during a hysteroscopy. She then inserts surgical instruments through the hysteroscope to treat various conditions, such as uterine polyps or fibroids.
Endometrial Ablation
During an endometrial ablation, Dr. Sylvester inserts a tool through your vagina to your uterus that heats and destroys the endometrial lining. She may perform an endometrial ablation to treat heavy menstrual bleeding in women with no plans for future pregnancy.
Vaginal Surgery
Vaginal surgery is a minimally invasive surgical technique used to perform procedures through the vagina.
Dr. Sylvester and the BABIES ETC OB/GYN P.C. team also perform in-office procedures, including cryotherapy and loop electrical excision procedure (LEEP) to remove abnormal tissue and growths in the vagina or cervix.
How do I know if I need surgical services?
Dr. Sylvester determines if you need surgical services after a consultation. She may only recommend surgery after medical interventions fail to improve your underlying health issue.
Dr. Sylvester discusses the surgical options with you so you can make an informed decision about how you want to proceed.
