Gynecologic Surgery

Conditions commonly treated surgically by gynecologists are related to the female reproductive system and include endometriosis, pelvic inflammatory disease, abnormal bleeding, fibroids and polyps. They also perform hysterectomies, including laparoscopic approaches, tubal ligations, and reverse tubal ligations. Some gynecologists develop specialty practices in such areas as urogynecology which addresses issues of bladder control and stress urinary incontinence.
