Rather than making large surgical incisions, minimally invasive surgery techniques use your body’s natural openings or require very small incisions through which to pass the instruments.
Minimally invasive procedures include:
This diagnostic and operative technique relies on a tiny telescope that’s inserted through the cervix to provide images of the uterus via a video monitor. Dr. Vinokur uses this technique to assess women experiencing infertility, miscarriage, and abnormal uterine bleeding. As a treatment technique, Dr. Vinokur uses these images to perform surgery using small incisions and tiny instruments.
This type of surgery is also diagnostic and operative in nature and relies on the use of a tiny camera inserted through the navel. It can be used to examine the outside of the uterus, fallopian tubes, ovaries, and other pelvic areas. It’s typically used to identify fibroids, polyps, and the causes of abnormal bleeding. As a treatment technique, Dr. Vinokur uses the images to perform surgery using small incisions and tiny instruments.
These minimally invasive surgery techniques are often robot-assisted, or computer-assisted, giving Dr. Vinokur more flexibility, control, and precision.
