General and Outpatient Surgery
Last year, more than 7,000 women chose to have surgery at The Woman's Hospital of Texas. They wanted the expertise of our nationally-renowned surgeons and the exceptional nursing care that we provide to each and every patient.
In the past, women having hysterectomies had to put their lives on hold to recover from the surgery, taking as many as six weeks to fully recover. But that’s no longer the case. Doctors at The Woman's Hospital of Texas have pioneered minimally invasive techniques for gynecological surgeries. In many cases, we can get you back to your life within days, with less pain, fewer complications, and reduced scarring.
Some of the minimally invasive procedures performed at The Woman’s Hospital of Texas, either on an inpatient or outpatient basis:
- Hysterectomy
- Removal of ovarian cysts/tumors
- Fibroid removal
- Treatment of endometriosis
- Diagnosis of pelvic pain
- Removal of scar tissue
- Sterilization
- Gall bladder removal
- Hernia repair
- Treatment of incontinence
- Treatment of overactive bladder
- Treatment of vaginal prolapse
da Vinci Robot
The www.davincisurvey.com is a robotic platform that allows physicians to perform advanced minimally invasive procedures with unrivaled precision. Whereas traditional laparoscopy requires long, hand-held instruments that cannot bend or rotate, da Vinci gives physicians additional flexibility and mobility. Laparoscopy is often guided by 2-D imaging on a separate monitor, but da Vinci incorporates 3-D imaging into the machine itself. That means that surgeon can focus on you rather than looking back and forth between the tools and the monitor.
Most advantageous to patients, a da Vinci system means surgery can be performed through tiny incisions rather than long abdominal ones. That means less pain, less blood loss, a shorter hospital stay, and a quicker recovery.
