Ditch the Cover-up. Dr. Paul MacKoul's Guide to Avoiding Visible

Scaring with Minimally Invasive GYN Surgery

What Women Want

Tiny incisions

Less pain

No visible scars

A woman’s body goes through a lot over time, suffering from the effects of dieting, pregnancy, and age. It’s no wonder there is a deep concern over potential scarring from surgery.

“With the advent of minimally invasive surgery, surgeons can now provide hysterectomy patients with cosmetically pleasing results.” Scar Assessment for Patients Undergoing Minimal Invasive Hysterectomy. PubMed.gov.

In this small perception study from November 2014, 93% of women stated that cosmetic issues were important to them for hysterectomy procedures. Surgery without visible scars was appealing to 92%.

Dealing with GYN Conditions

For many women, monthly symptoms are manageable. For others, they can be life changing. Pelvic pain, abnormal bleeding, or weight gain are all disruptive symptoms of underlying GYN conditions.

Surgical treatment, where appropriate, can remove the effects of the condition (fibroids, pelvic adhesions, endometriotic tissue or endometriomas) for women wishing to maintain fertility. Definitive treatment for many GYN conditions (fibroids, endometriosis, polycystic ovary syndrome, uterine prolapse) is surgery that removes the source of the condition

The least invasive, most advanced laparoscopic procedures improve recovery, minimize blood loss and return patients to themselves faster with less pain. Cosmetically friendly incisions to avoid visible scars are a happy by-product of these advancements.

At The Center for Innovative GYN Care, our surgical specialists use incisions the size of paper cuts and perform advanced surgical techniques for exceptional visibility of the pelvic cavity. With better visibility our highly skilled surgeons created safe, efficient procedures for even the most complex cases.
