In the Division of Minimally Invasive Gynecology Surgery at NYU Grossman Long Island School of Medicine, our surgeons are experts in the latest evidence-based surgical treatments for a range of benign gynecologic conditions.

We provide comprehensive, compassionate care for people with complex non-cancerous pelvic conditions. We have national and international expertise in endometriosis, adenomyosis and fibroid tumors and are leading authorities in the minimally invasive surgical treatment of benign gynecologic conditions.

We have expertise in fertility-sparing surgery and have expertise in research and treatment of patients with endometriosis, adenomyosis and fibroids.

Our surgeons collaborate with other specialists and subspecialists including gynecologists, obstetricians, colorectal and urologic surgeons, as well as our own Division of Reproductive Endocrinology and Infertility to perform cutting edge procedures to center our patient’s goals and enhance and preserve fertility and/or definitively treat patients’ symptoms.

In addition to clinical care, our team is committed to advancing the field by training the next generation of specialists and leading pioneering research studies that have contributed to breakthrough discoveries in this rapidly evolving field.

Minimally Invasive Gynecologic Surgery Education

Our faculty proudly mentor trainees pursuing an interest in minimally invasive and robotic gynecologic surgery.

Residents in our Obstetrics and Gynecology Residency rotate with our team to build a foundation in core gynecologic surgical techniques, including advanced laparoscopic, hysteroscopic, vaginal, and robotic-assisted approaches. We provide comprehensive training to ensure residents not only gain clinical skill,but also advocate to improve patient care system-wide.

In our two-year Minimally Invasive and Robotic Gynecologic Surgery Fellowship offers post-residency training for those who elect to specialize in minimally invasive gynecologic surgery. Fellows become proficient in advanced laparoscopic, robotic, hysteroscopic, abdominal, and vaginal surgery and develop skills in risk management, teaching and quality and safety.

Minimally Invasive Gynecologic Surgery Research

Our faculty lead pioneering research in basic and clinical science, publishing widely on topics that include demonstrating the safety and efficacy of laparoscopic techniques, reducing the number of invasive procedures performed, advancing best practices for preventing ovarian cancer, “no scar” vaginal surgeries, and patient decision aids for optimizing treatment of heavy vaginal bleeding and fibroids.

Our faculty has published more than 250 articles in academic and scientific journals, presented award-winning videos and abstracts globally, and sought-after resources for textbooks and book chapters.

Minimally Invasive Gynecologic Surgery Clinical Services

Our team provides individualized surgical care for each patient based on their specific needs. We treat patients with conditions including heavy menstrual bleeding, endometriosis, ovarian cysts, adnexal masses and other causes of pelvic pain, uterine fibroids, pelvic and uterine prolapse and urinary incontinence.

We also perform minimally invasive laparoscopic and robotic-assisted, definitive and fertility-sparing surgery, helping patients who are receiving treatment for benign conditions retain the ability to conceive.
