NuHealth’s gynecologic surgical specialists have performed more than 1,000 surgeries without a single external incision. These minimally-invasive surgical procedures employ a special miniature camera on a thin cable (endoscope) with instruments designed to be inserted through natural openings in the body. Endoscopic surgery greatly eases the patient’s recovery and significantly reduces the risk of post-operative infection and other complications of traditional surgery.

Endoscopic procedures performed at Nassau University Medical Center include treatments for fibroid and ovarian disease complicated by large cyst and severe adhesions, infertility, and urinary incontinence.
