Minimally Invasive Gynecological Surgery in Reno, NV
Minimally invasive gynecological surgery can treat a number of gynecological conditions and patients can generally return home the same day.

In most cases, minimally invasive surgery is a lower-risk option than open surgery, and you’re likely to have less pain and smaller scars. It is also more affordable.

Colposcopy
Colposcopy is primarily done following an abnormal pap smear to assess the cause of a cervix abnormality. Solutions are placed on the cervix to enhance the difference between normal and abnormal cells. Biopsies of the abnormal cells are often taken and sent to pathology for further evaluation.
