Gynecology Surgery

Gynecology Surgery

As a woman, you may need surgery on the female pelvic region at some point in your life. Gynecology surgery can include procedures on the cervix, uterus, ovaries, vagina, vulva, or fallopian tubes. You might also have bladder issues that can be resolved with gynecology surgery.

A quality Lifeline Medical Associates women’s healthcare provider can help you better understand the type of surgery that is best for you in your situation. The physician will also answer any questions you may have and will fully explain all the benefits and risks of the recommended gynecology surgery.

Types of gynecology surgeries

You may need surgery for fibroids, ovarian cysts, pelvic inflammatory disease, uterine prolapse, endometriosis, or abnormal bleeding. Some of the types of surgery your physician may recommend include:

  • Hysterectomy: A surgery to remove the uterus, a hysterectomy might be recommended for you if you have fibroid-related bleeding or pressure. A total hysterectomy removes the entire uterus, including the cervix. Removal of the upper part of the uterus is called a supra-cervical hysterectomy.
  • Myomectomy: This surgery removes uterine fibroids that may be causing you problems, but it keeps the uterus itself intact.
  • Colposcopy:If your physician discovers issues, such as abnormal cells, during your pelvic exam or Pap test, they may recommend this procedure which will enable them to see changes in your vaginal and cervical tissues.
  • Bladder support surgery: This type of surgery is performed to improve support for the bladder and for the valve mechanism at the bladder neck. A cystoscopy will enable the surgeon to see inside your urinary tract to check for stones, growths, or other issues.

Gynecology surgery may also be recommended for treatment of cancers that affect women, including ovarian, uterine, and cervical cancer.

Annual Well Woman Exam

Dr.Austin has excellent bedside manner and always takes the time to answer all questions/concerns. I have seen her exclusively for a few years now but have been a patient of the practice since 2010. She is the reason that I've stayed with the practice and will continue to stay her patient for as long as she retires hopefully.

Annual Well Woman Exam

Dr Defalco is great, but I was basically examined in a storage room with an exam table in it.

Review for Lisa DeFalco, DO

Pap Smear

The doctor was very professional. She sensitively described what she was going to do throughout the exam before any procedure was performed. She was a good listener, gentle, caring and had good eye contact. I am at high risk for breast cancer…she checked to make sure that I followed up with the referral that was made to Morristown Breast Associate’s at Morristown Memorial Hospital. She left no stone unturned and I greatly appreciated her thoroughness.
