Laparoscopy is frequently used to diagnose and manage conditions of the reproductive organs, including endometriosis, ovarian cysts, fibroids, adhesions, uterine diseases and urinary incontinence, as well as to check for ectopic pregnancy, causes of pelvic pain, and tumors. This technique is used to remove polyps and fibroids, perform selective endometrial biopsies and address scarring in the endometrial cavity. Problems of the uterus can be treated through laparoscopic-assisted vaginal hysterectomy, which enables the surgeon to view the pelvic organs while removing the uterus. Tubal sterilization also can be performed laparoscopically.

The Center for Women's Minimal Access Surgery is dedicated to providing women with advanced surgical techniques, both for diagnostic and treatment purposes, that minimize not only the "surgery," but also the impact on day-to-day life, as well as pain, cost and recovery time.

The surgeons at the Center for Women's Minimal Access Surgery are acknowledged world leaders in the field of minimal access surgery. Many of the procedures utilized at the Center were actually pioneered by its gynecologists. Their ongoing efforts to provide the most advanced minimal access surgical procedures reflect their dedication to the delivery of optimum gynecologic care and their continuing leadership in the innovation and refinement of less invasive surgical techniques.
