BOB体育

Most of the fertility promoting surgeries performed by BOB体育 reproductive medicine physicians utilize minimally invasive surgery techniques, allowing our patients to often go home on the same day without needing an overnight hospital stay.

These techniques include laparoscopy, hysteroscopy and mini-laparotomy. The majority of minimally invasive surgery cases are performed at the BOB体育 Florida Surgical Center, a state-of-the-art stand-alone ambulatory surgery center of BOB体育 Shands Hospital. Some surgeries like multiple myomectomies performed through a larger abdominal incision require admission to BOB体育 Shands Hospital for 24 to 48 hour period to observe and support initial recovery. Our surgical schedulers at BOB体育 Women鈥檚 Center at Springhill will assist you to schedule your surgery with your physician.

Laparoscopy

Laparoscopy has become one of the most common procedures performed nationally by many surgical specialists. BOB体育 reproductive medicine physicians use laparoscopy for removal of ectopic pregnancies, treatment of endometriosis, assessment and removal of abnormal ovarian masses, ovarian drilling to induce ovulation in clomiphene and letrozole resistant patients with polycystic ovary syndrome, evaluation and treatment of tubal disease, removal of small uterine myomas and more.

Hysteroscopy

Hysteroscopy is an excellent diagnostic technique for investigating potential abnormalities detected in screening tests like saline infusion sonography or hysterosalpingography. This is a minimally invasive procedure for evaluating the uterine cavity and treating various cavity abnormalities. Diagnostic flexible hysteroscopy can be performed quickly and comfortably in our office setting, however operative hysteroscopy to remove or treat any identified pathology such as a septum, polyps, fibroids or scarring generally requires ambulatory surgery center facilities for anesthesia and recovery.

Myomectomy

Fertility may be compromised by the presence of myomas (fibroids) distorting, pressing or growing into, the uterine cavity. These mostly benign tumors may need to be resected while minimizing any potential harm to the uterus by laparoscopy or hysteroscopy or via an open abdominal incision. BOB体育 reproductive medicine physicians are experts in the surgical management of myomas in women with fertility concerns.
