Comprehensive Care

As knowledge about gynecologic cancer continues to expand, more encouraging treatment options are available now than ever before.

The experts at OSF HealthCare can use minimally invasive laparoscopic procedures, includingrobotic surgery, for gynecological cancer.

This approach shortens recovery times from six weeks to two, decreases pain after the operation, requires smaller incisions and reduces the risk of complications.

You receive care from specialists who use the most innovative approaches to treat gynecological cancers, including cervical, endometrial, fallopian tube, ovarian, uterine, vaginal or vulvar.

Our treatments are designed to cure cancer while minimizing the effects on the rest of your body and overall health.

Gynecologic Oncology Surgery

When medication and non-invasive procedures are unable to relieve symptoms, surgery remains the accepted and most effective treatment for a range of gynecologic conditions, including cervical and uterine cancer,uterine fibroids,endometriosis,uterine prolapseand menorrhagia or excessive bleeding.

Open Surgery

Traditional open gynecologic surgery, using a large incision for access to the uterus and surrounding anatomy, has been the standard approach for many procedures for many years.

然而，开放性手术会带来巨大的疼痛、创伤、漫长的恢复过程，并有伤害周围器官和神经的风险。

For women facing gynecologic surgery, the period of pain, discomfort, and extended time away from normal daily activities that usually follow traditional surgery can cause anxiety. Fortunately, less invasive options are available.

Some gynecologic procedures enable surgeons to use a vaginal approach that may not require an external incision.

Robotic Surgery

But for complex hysterectomies and other gynecologic procedures, robot-assisted surgery with the da Vinci® Surgical System may be the most effective, least invasive treatment option.
