Minimally Invasive Surgery For Pelvic Pain
As specialists in their field, our surgeons can perform gynecologic procedures using minimally invasive approaches, such as laparoscopy or daVinci robot, which can result in:
- Shorter hospital stay (one day in most cases versus 3-5)
- Significantly less post-operative pain (often only over-the-counter pain meds are required)
- Quicker recovery and return to normal activities (1-2 weeks versus 6-8 weeks)
- Fewer complications and less risk of infection
- Less scarring (small, dime-sized incisions versus a 6-8 inch scar)
Advanced Pelvic Pain Care
Our institution provides world-class care and pelvic pain treatment. We are one of only three in the United States that performs surgical decompression of injured pudendal nerves, and patients from all over North America come to St. Joseph’s to have this surgery done.
