Treatments For Gynecological Diseases
We treat our patients with a comprehensive approach for both diagnosis and surgical treatment of women’s cancers and complex benign gynecological diseases. These include cervical cancer, ovarian cancer, endometrial cancer, and diseases such as endometriosis, uterine fibroids, ovarian cysts, among others
Treatment by minimally invasive laparoscopic surgery
Specialists in surgical treatments using the minimally invasive laparoscopic technique for the treatment of gynecological diseases in women.
Below is a list of the techniques treated in our medical center
Laparoscopic mini-invasive Surgery
The minimally invasive surgical technique consists of performing the procedure through small holes instead of the traditional large abdominal incisions. Normally, in gynecological surgeries between 3 – 4 incisions of 5 -10 mm are made in different areas of the pelvis. A gas is then introduced into the abdominal cavity…
Robotic surgery
Minimally invasive robotic surgery represents the technological evolution of conventional laparoscopic surgery. Although both types of surgical procedures are performed through small holes of less than 7 mm, robotic surgery has been developed to overcome the limitations of laparoscopic surgery…
Laparoscopic Hysterectomy
It means that the hysterectomy, or surgical removal of the uterus, is performed by laparoscopic or robotic minimally invasive surgery. The uterus is made up of two parts: the cervix and the uterine body. Although in most cases the entire uterus is usually removed; in some patients a subtotal hysterectomy is performed…
Laparoscopic Myomectomy
It means that the myomectomy, or surgical removal of the fibroid(s), is performed by laparoscopic or robotic minimally invasive surgery. The uterus is made up of two parts: the cervix and the uterine body. Uterine myomas or fibromas are benign tumors in almost 100% of cases that originate from the walls…
Laparoscopic Cystectomy
The removal treatment of ovarian cysts is performed by mini-invasive laparoscopic surgery or robotic surgery. It is a treatment of a large simple cyst with renal cell carcinoma in its wall. Duration between 30 – 60 minutes.
Hysteroscopy
Diagnostic hysteroscopy does not require admission or anesthesia and is performed in an outpatient procedure room. Surgical hysteroscopy requires general anesthesia because a 5-mm camera is required, so it is necessary to dilate the cervix a little more. It is performed in the hospital but admission is not necessary…
Gynecological Cancer Treatment
Specialists in surgical treatments against gynecological cancer. Doctor Lucas Minig and his multidisciplinary team of doctors will be in charge of offering personalized surgical treatment to each patient to solve the problems and diseases caused by the most frequent benign pathologies in women.
Radical debulking surgery for ovarian cancer
The diagnosis of ovarian cancer is made when the disease is already widespread in the abdominal and pelvic cavities in almost 80% of patients. (Stages III and IV of the disease) The picture is also called: “peritoneal carcinomatosis”. This occurs when malignant cells from the ovary implant in a…
Radical citoreduction surgery for ovarian cancer relapse
The main therapeutic strategy for women with ovarian cancer is the combination of ultra-radical surgery that removes the entire The main therapeutic strategy in women with ovarian cancer is the combination of ultra-radical surgery that removes the entire disease with the administration of chemotherapy. Even so, there is a possibility that, after a very variable period of time, the tumor will reproduce again. (Tumor relapse) However…
Uterine Cancer Surgery: Cervix and Endometrium
Surgery for uterine (endometrial) and uterine cervix cancer has evolved substantially in recent years. Laparoscopic and mini-invasive robotic surgery is currently applied in almost all cases. In addition, it is often necessary to remove lymph nodes in the pelvis and abdomen. In recent years, research has been…
Cervical Conization
Cervical conization is a surgical procedure by which a conical section of the cervix is removed for diagnostic and/or therapeutic purposes. There are different techniques to perform them according to the characteristics of cervical injuries, their location, and the means available to perform them…
Fertility Conservative Treatment
It is estimated that almost 10-20% of women who have gynecological cancer are still in their reproductive years. In addition, women in developed countries are increasingly delaying the age of childbearing. Although the recommended treatment for any type of cancer in the reproductive organs is incompatible with future pregnancies…
Sentinel Node Technique
Lymph nodes are rounded structures that usually measure between 2 – 5 mm. They are part of the lymphatic system, included within the body’s immune system. Basically, the lymph nodes are linked together by very delicate ducts. Its main function is to collect liquids and waste products…
Surgical treatment of breast cancer
Conservative surgery (lumpectomy or quadrantectomy): It consists of the partial removal of the tumor with a margin of healthy tissue around it. The goal is to preserve as much healthy breast tissue as possible to obtain the best aesthetic result while ensuring complete removal of the tumor with an optimal safety margin…
Genetic Counseling
Cancer is a genetic disease from its origin. These genetic alterations can be acquired throughout life or can be inherited from ancestors. It is estimated that 20% of women with ovarian cancer will have some inherited gene mutation; mainly the BRCA 1-2 genes. The remaining 80% of tumors…
Patient Help
The comprehensive care on which we work means that we also collaborate in synchrony with associations of patients affected by gynecological cancer, such as the Asociación de Afectadas por Cáncer de Ovario (ASACO) or the Association of Women Affected by Ovarian Cancer. In addition, we collaborate intensely in social dissemination campaigns for gynecological cancer aimed at giving gynecological cancer a voice…
Genital Prolapse and Incontinence Treatment
Specialists in treatments against urinary incontinence and uterine genital prolapse. Specific treatments and exercises to improve the health of our patients.
Genital prolapse and urinary incontinence
Your doctor may recommend that you put a donut-shaped rubber or plastic device, called a pessary, into your vagina. This device holds the uterus in place. The pessary can be worn for a short or long time. The device fits into your vagina. Some pessaries are similar to a diaphragm used for birth control…
Anti-incontinence implant
Tension-free vaginal implant placement is surgery to help control stress urinary incontinence, the leakage of urine that occurs when you laugh, cough, sneeze, lift objects, or exercise. The surgery helps close the urethra (the tube that carries urine from the bladder to the outside) and the neck of the bladder…
Kegel exercises
To do Kegel exercises, you just need to tighten your pelvic floor muscles. The part of your body that includes your hips is your pelvic area. At the bottom of your pelvis are several layers of muscle that run between your legs. Muscles are attached to the front, back, and sides of the ilium…
