Common Gynecologic Surgery Procedures
Our doctors perform a variety of surgical procedures at the fully accredited Pearl SurgiCenter. Common gynecologic surgery procedures include:
Hysterectomy removes the uterus. Dr. Rosenfield performs this procedure to correct a variety of conditions. Learn more about hysterectomy procedures, and talk to your practitioner about the best options for hysterectomy. We perform both total laparoscopic hysterectomy and laparoscopic supracervical hysterectomy in the outpatient environment. Dr. Rosenfield may elect to choose a vaginal hysterectomy or a robotic hysterectomy at the hospital when it is indicated
Tubal Reversal an option for women who have previously been sterilized who are hoping to have more children. Our physicians offer laparoscopic reversal of sterilization for a quick recovery and high success rates. To learn more, visit TubalReversalNW.com.
Oophorectomy removes one or both ovaries. This procedure is often recommended in women whose ovaries appear abnormal or have a strong family history of cancer.
Endometriosis treatment usually involves complete surgical removal of the diseased tissue from the pelvis. Removing the implants, referred to surgical excision, is more effective than the more common practice of fulgurating (also called burning or cauterizing) the endometriosis.

Prolapse surgery corrects pelvic organ prolapse (including cystocele, rectocele, and enterocele). Pelvic organ prolapse is a condition where the bladder, vagina or rectum bulge downward and can cause significant problems in the daily activities of patients. While first-line therapy might include physical therapy and pelvic floor exercises, surgical correction may be recommended. Many surgical approaches exist, including laparoscopic sacrocolpopexy and uterosacral ligament suspension. We base our approach on the individual needs of the patient. We are one of few practices in the world offering these corrective gynecologic surgery procedures in a completely outpatient setting with discharge to HOME after the procedure.
Incontinence surgery corrects urinary incontinence. After a thorough evaluation to determine the cause, surgical correction, such as a suburethral sling and cystoscopy, is available for patients who leak with exercise, when coughing or bearing down.
Vaginal and pelvic floor reconstruction repairs these areas after trauma from a forceps delivery or episiotomy. Vaginal rejuvenation surgery can be included in this type of procedure.
Hysteroscopy allows your doctor to view the inner cavity of the uterus using an endoscopic instrument. This procedure is helpful for the management of fibroids, infertility or ruling out cancer as a cause of abnormal menstrual bleeding.
Infertility surgery includes fallopian tube repair, removal of fibroids and diagnostic evaluation. See our Infertility page for more information about our services.
Fibroid removal includes myomectomy and hysterectomy and the NEW Acessa procedure, a minimally invasive radiofrequency treatment for uterine fibroids. Visit our Fibroids page for detailed information.
Abnormal Pap smear treatments include colposcopy, cone biopsy and LEEP (loop electrosurgical excision procedure).
Many of these gynecologic surgery procedures can be combined for multiple improvements with a single recovery period.
