Minimally Invasive Gynecologic Surgery (MIGS)

Advanced, patient-centered care for complex benign gynecologic conditions

At Jamaica Hospital Medical Center, our Minimally Invasive Gynecologic Surgery (MIGS) program offers state-of-the-art surgical care for patients with benign gynecologic conditions. Using the latest surgical techniques, we offer treatment with smaller incisions, faster recovery, and less discomfort.

Our goal is simple: to help patients return to their daily lives quickly and safely while receiving the highest level of specialized care.

Our Approach to Care

We believe that every patient deserves compassionate, individualized treatment. Our team takes the time to understand your symptoms, goals, and preferences, and we work with you to create a personalized plan that prioritizes minimally invasive options whenever safe and appropriate. We follow evidence-based Enhanced Recovery After Surgery (ERAS) principles to support faster healing, better pain control, and a smoother recovery. For patients hoping to preserve or improve fertility, we offer specialized counseling and fertility-focused surgical planning. We also collaborate closely with specialists in reproductive endocrinology, radiology, pelvic floor therapy, and pain management to ensure truly comprehensive care. Throughout the process, we emphasize communication and shared decision-making so you feel supported, and confident at every step.

Conditions We Treat

We care for patients with a wide range of gynecologic concerns, from common problems to complex surgical conditions.
These include:

  • Heavy or painful menstrual periods
  • Chronic pelvic pain
  • Fibroids
  • Endometriosis
  • Ovarian cysts
  • Adenomyosis
  • Pelvic adhesions (scar tissue)
  • Congenital (Mullerian) anomalies
  • Post-cesarean concerns such as Isthmocele
  • Cervical insuffiency or incompetence (weakening of the cervix during pregnancy)
  • Fertility-related surgical issues

If you are unsure whether your condition requires minimally invasive treatment, our team can help guide you through the evaluation and treatment options.

Procedures We Perform

We offer a full range of minimally invasive surgical approaches — including robotic, laparoscopic, vaginal, and hysteroscopic techniques — tailored to each patient’s needs.

Robotic and Laparoscopic surgery: these approaches use small incisions and advanced visualization to treat conditions such as:

  • Myomectomy (removal of fibroids while preserving the uterus)
  • Hysterectomy (removal of the uterus)
  • Endometriosis excision: precise removal of endometriosis implants, scar tissue, and deep infiltrating disease to improve pain, fertility, and quality of life.
  • Removal of ovarian cysts and masses
  • Repair of post cesarean niches (Isthmocele)
  • Sterilization (removal of fallopian tubes for contraception)
  • Fertility-optimizing procedures:
    • Sterilization (tubal) reversal
    • Cerclage placement to treat cervical insufficiency and recurrent miscarriages

Hysteroscopic surgery: this allows treatment inside the uterus without any incisions.

  • Polyp removal
  • Fibroid resection
  • Lysis of adhesions for Asherman’s syndrome
  • Resection of uterine septum
  • Endometrial ablation
