Conditions of the Female Reproductive System and Their Minimally-Invasive Robotic and Laparoscopic Surgical Treatments

In the Division of Minimally-Invasive Robotic and Laparoscopic Gynecologic Surgery (MIGS Division) in the Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology at St. Luke’s and Roosevelt Hospitals, we offer a wide range of minimally-invasive surgical treatments for gynecologic problems. These new treatments are as safe and effective as their traditional counterparts requiring a major incision, and come with a host of advantages: less scarring, shorter hospital stay and recovery time, and fewer potential complications.

MIGS Division Director Farr Nezhat, MD, FACOG, is a nationally and internationally-known innovator who has developed a host of minimally-invasive techniques. He is also a board-certified gynecologic oncologist with a special focus on the treatment of gynecologic cancers.

This part of the MIGS Web site provides an overview of gynecologic conditions, both cancerous and noncancerous, and the treatments that we offer for them.

Minimally-Invasive Surgery for Women’s Cancers

• Known and suspected Women's Cancers and Their Treatments In the Division of Minimally-Invasive Robotic and Laparoscopic Gynecologic Surgery
  • In the MIGS Division, minimally-invasive surgical staging and treatment for ovarian, cervical and endometrial cancer are continually being advanced. These are used in concert with state-of-the-art chemotherapy and radiation treatment to provide complete and effective care. In this way, women are avoiding conventional, open surgery even for many of the most serious cancers, thus achieving easier recovery and better quality of life along with comparable treatment success. In this section, you will find an overview of the treatments we offer for many gynecologic cancers.
