Context Explanation
Discover the benefits, recovery process, and when surgery is necessary for conditions like fibroids, endometriosis, and ovarian cysts. We strive to provide a safer and more effective alternative to traditional open surgery by performing the vast majority of our procedures via laparoscopy or hysteroscopy. We get referrals from other providers for complicated cases that would otherwise be performed via a large abdominal incision. At Johns Hopkins, our experts specialize in advanced minimally invasive surgical techniques, including complex hysteroscopic, gynecologic laparoscopic/robotic, and fertility related surgery, to treat a range of complex gynecologic conditions such as fibroids, abnormal bleeding, endometriosis and ovarian cysts.
