UCLA Obstetrics & Gynecology MIGS Surgeons: Experts in Minimally Invasive Gynecologic Surgery

What is Minimally Invasive Gynecologic Surgery?

Obstetrics at UCLA

The field of Minimally Invasive Gynecologic Surgery (MIGS) is a rapidly growing sub-specialty dedicated to utilizing innovative and safe surgical techniques to handle complex patient care issues. MIGS is a type of surgery that involves smaller incisions. By means of vaginal, robotic, hysteroscopic, and laparoscopic surgery, patients have access to surgical options with shorter recoveries and less overall risk of complication. 

The UCLA Obstetrics and Gynecology Division of Minimally Invasive Gynecologic Surgery aims to provide patient-centered care, where patients can learn about the various surgical approaches for their care and participate in shared decision making to determine which treatment option is right for them.

What are the benefits of Minimally Invasive Gynecologic Surgery (MIGS)?

Not all patients are good candidates for a minimally invasive surgery. However, at the UCLA Division of Minimally Invasive Gynecologic Surgery, we strive to ensure that all patients who may benefit from these techniques have the option of doing so.

By avoiding large incisions, minimally invasive surgeries offer patients short recovery times and hospital stays. In fact, for many patients, a minimally invasive surgery can involve going home on the same day of surgery. Because there are no large incisions, most patients need less narcotics during their recovery and can return to normal activities in a shorter amount of time than with open, or traditional surgery. 

Beyond the recovery benefits of minimally invasive surgery, studies have shown that people who undergo a minimally invasive procedure have less risks of more serious complications such as wound infections, post-operative pneumonias, and deep vein thrombosis. 

Conditions we treat at UCLA with Minimally Invasive Gynecologic Surgery (MIGS)

At UCLA Obstetrics and Gynecology, we offer various types of surgical treatment options for a range of gynecologic conditions.  If you have any of the following conditions, we recommend discussing this with your gynecologist to see if a minimally invasive approach may be right for you:

  • abnormal bleeding
  • endometriosis
  • fibroids
  • adenomyosis
  • endometrial polyps
  • ovarian cysts
  • prolapse
  • urinary incontinence
