At Emory Women Clinic, our gynecologists are trained to perform outpatient in-office procedures and we specialize in evaluating and treating women with a wide variety of non-cancerous (benign) gynecological disorders, including heavy menstrual periods (menorrhagia), menstrual periods, irregular menstrual bleeding (metrorrhagia), pelvic pain, endometriosis, and ovarian cysts .

 

For conditions that require surgery, one option that Dr. Castañeda offers you is the Minimally Invasive Surgery , characterized by small and delicate cuts, aesthetic, short stay and minimal bleeding. The minimally invasive gynecologic SURGERY is a technique with proven ability to decrease pain and shorten recovery time so that the procedures can be hysteroscopic or laparoscopic.

 

For conditions that require surgery, if it is outpatient, you will receive care in the video endoscopic room or if it is short-term, in the laparoscopic surgical room at Star Medical Hospital. Whatever the scenario, a minimally invasive approach has been shown to improve results and reduce discomfort and discomfort.

 

Innovative treatment options

Dr. Castañeda will talk with you about a wide range of innovative and effective treatment options and develop an individualized management plan that may include one of these minimally invasive gynecological procedures:
