Advocating Minimally Invasive Surgery (MIS)
Dr. Richard Williams directs the Williams OB/GYN & Associates practice in San Dimas, CA. Our award-winning OB/GYN medical doctor is compassionate about care, experienced, skilled, fully licensed, and board-certified.
When you have a condition, and the only option is surgery, you want the procedure to be as minimally invasive as possible so that there is less downtime versus traditional surgical methods.
Quicker Recovery Time with Minimally Invasive Surgery (MIS)
Whenever this doctor has to schedule a surgical procedure, he will do a minimally invasive surgery versus traditional approaches if possible.
Our renowned doctor and surgeon at Williams OB/GYN & Associates in San Dimas, CA, wants the public to know that a "lesser" surgical procedure is available if your situation warrants minimally invasive surgery (MIS).
A minimally invasive surgical procedure has the following benefits.
- Lesser intrusive surgery
- A faster recovery
- A lower pain threshold
- A lower risk of infections/complications
- Minimal scaring
- Minimal bleeding
- Minimal downtime
- Fewer side effects
- More comfortable
- Safer option
Two minimally invasive procedures available are a laparoscopy and a hysteroscopy, which could be ideal for your situation. However, you must consult our doctor so he can decide if you are a good candidate for this procedure and which procedure fits your situation. The recovery time in either of these types is less than that of abdominal surgery.
Recovery times vary with each patient, overall health, and if the patient follows the doctor's presurgical and recovery directions. Generally, it takes most women two to four weeks for recovery; some need longer, and some recover in this time frame. If the patient performs strenuous activity in their job, recovery time could be longer.
Some women need a minimum of a 24-hour observation time in the hospital. However, the doctor determines how long a patient is in the hospital according to the procedure, overall health, and possible complications.
The qualifying conditions for a laparoscopy or hysteroscopy could be any of the following diagnoses.
- Endometriosis
- Ectopic Pregnancy
- Pelvic Adhesions
- Excessive Bleeding
- Uterus and vaginal structural issues
- Ovarian cysts and tumors
- Treating uterine and cervical cancer
- Pelvic organ prolapse
