DualPortGYN Now You Have a Choice A New Advance In Minimally Invasive GYN Surgery

More than ever, patients need to be informed and prepared to ask questions in this era of managed care and HMOs. It is especially important to get as much information as possible when your doctor recommends surgery. Patients should understand why they should have surgery; know how it will be performed; learn what to expect from recovery; and be aware of who can perform the surgery with the least possible complications.

Many patients seeking help for uterine fibroids, ovarian masses, endometriosis, or gynecologic cancers are often forced to undergo open surgeries because they are not fully informed about their choices. Open surgery requires large incisions and may result in more pain, more frequent complications, longer hospital stays and longer recovery times. Patients who are advised to have surgery for their gynecologic condition need to know that there is an alternative to open surgery.

One approach is a technique know as DualPortGYN. DualPort-GYN procedures are a revolutionary new way to provide minimally invasive surgical procedures using the fewest and smallest incisions possible. DualPortGYN procedures are a remarkable advance in GYN laparoscopy. These procedures are more efficient, safer, and far less invasive than robotic surgery or standard laparoscopy. Pain is minimized, and the recovery after DualPort procedures is outstanding. Using only two 1/4 inch incisions, DualPortGYN can be used to perform all types of GYN procedures including hysterectomy, removal of fibroids, ovarian cysts, endometriosis, pelvic pain, and many others. The results of this minimally invasive surgery uses the smallest number and size of incisions, thereby providing the best surgical results possible. DualPort-GYN procedures and technology optimize all of these, to provide the best surgical results possible. In addition to all these positive advantages of DualPortGYN for patients, it is also important to emphasize that DualPortGYN procedures are single operator surgeries. This means that only one surgeon is involved in the procedure, your DualPortGYN certified surgeon. Residents or fellows in training are not needed, completely eliminating complications associated with assistants during surgery.

As a patient, you need to ensure that your doctor discusses all your options with you, including Dual-PortGYN minimally invasive surgery. Your doctor won't be hurt if you seek a second opinion and may even suggest it. Consider seeing a DualPortGYN certified surgeon to review your case with you. This will ensure you receive the best option available to you in minimally invasive GYN surgery.

Be your own best advocate. Ensure you have the fastest recovery with DualPortGYN.
