Minimally Invasive Gynecologic Surgery

Catalog description

For students preparing for obstetrics and gynecology, general practice, and surgery. Emphasis is placed on the outpatient assessment and inpatient or ambulatory management of patients with acute and chronic gynecologic disorders including menorrhagia, dysmenorrhea, myomas, endometriosis, and others. Students have the opportunity to work closely with faculty members in the Division of Minimally Invasive Gynecology (MIGS). Participation in the preoperative, surgical, and post-operative management of MIGS patients is another critical aspect of the rotation. Time for independent study is planned. The student is expected to utilize this time to review and present a specific clinical problem with frequent guidance and input from a member of the MIGS Division with similar interests.
