Gynecological Surgery

For patients requiring gynecologic procedures such as hysterectomies, infertility workups and laparoscopic procedures, St. Joseph’s Hospital-South has experienced surgeons, advanced nursing care and patient monitoring.  You’ll not only be in good hands but you’ll recover in a spacious, private room designed for peace, calm and healing.

Surgeons at St. Joseph’s Hospital-South can perform some gynecological procedures robotically, which is a minimally invasive alternative to traditional surgery and offers many benefits to patients including less pain, a faster recovery, shorter hospital stay, less risk of infection and smaller scar. Surgeons also benefit from robotic surgery by gaining a high-resolution visual field, enhanced dexterity and better access to surgical sites.

Some patients require pelvic floor rehabilitation after surgery. Ask your physician about a referral to one of our specialists or one of our pelvic rehabilitation centers. The Pelvic Health and Wellness program also offers conservative treatments for pelvic pain, incontinence, prolapse, painful intercourse and other pelvic floor issues.
