Division of Minimally Invasive Gynecologic Surgery

Northwestern Medicine's Minimally Invasive Gynecologic Surgery Program is dedicated to offering less invasive alternatives to traditional gynecologic procedures in both the operating room and office settings.

By integrating research, education, and clinical expertise, the Program offers patients the ability to receive treatment for a wide range of benign gynecological conditions in a setting that addresses each woman's unique needs and concerns.

The Minimally Invasive Gynecologic Surgery Program is focused on treatment of benign gynecological conditions such as uterine fibroids and endometriosis; however, Northwestern Medicine provides exceptional patient care through additional programs which offer minimally invasive surgical options for women’s health care needs, many of which are housed in the Center of Comprehensive Gynecology where the Program is based.

With leading clinical expertise, world-class patient care and collaborative research efforts across disciplines, Northwestern Medicine continues to rank among the best in the nation.
