Conditions We Treat at the Center for Minimally Invasive Gynecologic Surgery

Surgeons at Magee-Womens Hospital of UPMC treat many common gynecologic conditions through minimally invasive techniques, allowing for a faster and less painful recovery.

Common Gynecologic Problems We Treat

Endometriosis — cells that line the uterus grow outside to other areas of the pelvis or abdomen.

Fibroids — benign growths that develop in the muscular layer of the uterus.

Infertility — inability to become pregnant after having regular, unprotected sex.

Ovarian cysts — fluid-filled sac that forms on or inside an ovary.

Pelvic organ prolapse — the “slipping” or “falling” of the organs of the pelvis (the bladder, uterus, or rectum).
