State-of-the-art GYN surgery
Several gynecologic problems can cause excessive bleeding, irregular periods or pelvic pain, and if left untreated, may cause infertility or severe medical complications. GYN surgery can diagnose and treat serious gynecologic problems and give women relief from symptoms so they can feel like themselves again.
When you choose an Austin OBGYN at our practice, you can trust that any gynecologic surgery you may need will be performed with the highest standards of care in mind. Whether you need an advanced diagnostic procedure or surgery performed at a hospital or surgery center, you will benefit from advanced technologies, facilities and expertise, as well as the unwavering support of our entire care team.
Our physicians have received advanced training in minimally invasive GYN surgery, and whenever possible we perform surgeries laparoscopically or using robotic technology. These less-invasive procedures can be performed with just a few tiny incisions, resulting in faster recovery time and less pain.
GYN surgery for diagnosis and treatment
Our Austin OBGYNs have the expertise and experience to perform a variety of outpatient diagnostic procedures to check for abnormal tissue or other problems.
- Cervical cone biopsy or Cervical loop electrode excision procedure (LEEP)
- Colposcopy of the vagina or cervix
- Endometrial or uterine biopsy

Depending on which GYN surgery is needed to treat a specific gynecologic issue, advanced surgical procedures will be performed on an inpatient or outpatient basis at St. David’s Medical Center. Gynecologic surgical procedures include:
- Dilation and curettage (D&C) to remove abnormal uterine tissue and allow healing
