Laparoscopy Procedures Offer New Options for Gynecologic Cancers

The West Clinic Center for Gynecologic Oncology is the only center of its kind in the Mid-south offering state-of-the-art minimally invasive laparoscopic and robotic surgery for gynecologic malignancies. As a national leader in gynecologic oncology, West Clinic physicians are utilizing these advanced surgical procedures in the treatment of ovarian, endometrial, vagina, fallopian tube, and cervical cancers. Patients undergoing laparoscopic surgery report less pain, blood loss, and scarring than those undergoing conventional open surgery. In addition, reduced instances of infection, shorter hospital stays, faster recovery times, and quicker return to normal activities are further reported.

Prior to the introduction of minimally invasive surgery (MIS) for certain gynecologic cancers approximately 10 years ago, all patients were treated surgically with conventional open laparatomy procedures.
