Today, many routine as well as complex obstetric and gynecologic (OB/GYN) surgeries can be performed using minimally invasive techniques. Compared with traditional open procedures, minimally invasive gynecologic surgery (MIGS) utilizes a variety of different techniques (including laparoscopic, robotics, and vaginal approaches) which result in less pain, shorter hospital stays and faster recovery time.
The Director of Gynecologic Oncology, William Burke, MD, joins his colleagues from Stony Brook Medicine’s Department of Obstetrics & Gynecology as they discuss the benefits of minimally invasive surgery, the latest innovative surgical options, and the impact it can have on your recovery and quality of life.
