Minimally Invasive Surgery
Uterine Fibroids & Heavy Menstrual Bleeding
Almost every gynecologic problem, from fibroids to endometrial cancer, can be treated in a minimally-invasive fashion. Dr. Ofer’s focus on minimally-invasive techniques, including vaginal and laparoscopic / robotic approaches, will allow you to meet your goals and get back to your normal routines quickly.
Hysteroscopic Myomectomy
Some fibroids can be removed with no incisions by inserting a special instrument called a resectoscope into the endometrial cavity through the cervix (accessed through the vagina).
Endometrial Ablation
Endometrial ablation injures the cells that line the endometrial cavity. This leaves behind less tissue that needs to slough off each month, and thus, less bleeding with menses. Dr. Ofer uses a number of modalities for endometrial ablation, including Novasure which uses a fan-like instrument that transmits RF energy to burn the lining.
Myomectomy
For patients who desire to preserve their fertility, removal of the fibroids (myomectomy) may be the best surgical option. Dr. Ofer performs most myomectomies laparoscopically using the da Vinci Robotic System. Dr. Ofer can safely remove fibroids of almost any size laparoscopically.
da Vinci Myomectomy
The da Vinci instruments are able to hold suture needles and move them through tissue with greater maneuverability and precision than typical laparoscopic instruments.
da Vinci Hysterectomy
As one of the most experienced gynecologic surgeons in the country, Dr. Ofer has performed hundreds of laparoscopic and robotic hysterectomies. da Vinci laparoscopic instruments have revolutionized this procedure.
