Minimally Invasive Gynecologic Surgery
Minimally invasive gynecologic surgery (MIGS) uses specialized techniques and smaller incisions to treat a variety of gynecologic conditions.
At Borealis LIFE, Dr. Matthew Lindemann, Dr. Shiloh Small, and Dr. Patricia Capo specialize in minimally invasive surgical approaches for complex conditions, including endometriosis, uterine fibroids, and chronic pelvic pain.
Depending on your diagnosis and individual needs, minimally invasive surgery may offer benefits such as smaller incisions, less postoperative discomfort, and shorter recovery times compared to traditional open surgery.
Our physicians will work with you to determine whether surgery is appropriate and discuss the treatment options available for your condition.
Endometriosis & Chronic Pelvic Pain Treatment
Endometriosis and chronic pelvic pain can affect nearly every aspect of daily life. Symptoms may include painful periods, pelvic pain between menstrual cycles, painful intercourse, bowel or bladder discomfort, and other symptoms that can be difficult to explain or diagnose.
At Borealis LIFE, our physicians specialize in evaluating and treating endometriosis and complex pelvic pain conditions. We understand that pelvic pain can have multiple contributing factors, and identifying the source of your symptoms is an important part of developing an individualized treatment plan.
Treatment options may include medical management, minimally invasive surgery, and coordination with other specialists when appropriate. For patients with endometriosis, our surgical services include laparoscopic excision.
Our goal is to help patients better understand their symptoms, explore their treatment options, and make informed decisions about their care.
Uterine Fibroids Treatment
Uterine fibroids are noncancerous growths that develop in or around the uterus. While some people experience no symptoms, others may have heavy menstrual bleeding, pelvic pain or pressure, frequent urination, or other symptoms that interfere with daily life.
At Borealis LIFE, we provide individualized evaluation and treatment for uterine fibroids. Our physicians consider factors such as fibroid size, location, symptoms, and your personal goals when discussing treatment options.
Depending on your needs, treatment may include medical management, minimally invasive myomectomy, radiofrequency ablation using the Acessa procedure, or hysterectomy.
Our goal is to help you understand your options and choose an approach that aligns with your health needs and preferences.
Robotic-Assisted Gynecologic Surgery
Robotic-assisted surgery is a minimally invasive surgical approach that allows surgeons to perform complex procedures using specialized instruments controlled from a surgical console.
At Borealis LIFE, Dr. Matthew Lindemann, Dr. Shiloh Small, and Dr. Patricia Capo use robotic-assisted techniques when appropriate to treat conditions such as endometriosis and uterine fibroids.
Robotic-assisted surgery may offer benefits such as smaller incisions and shorter recovery times compared to traditional open surgery. However, the best surgical approach depends on each patient's condition, medical history, and treatment goals.
Our physicians will discuss whether robotic-assisted surgery is an appropriate option for your care.
Treatment of Irregular & Heavy Menstrual Bleeding
Heavy, prolonged, or irregular menstrual bleeding can interfere with daily life and may be associated with conditions such as uterine fibroids, adenomyosis, endometrial polyps, or hormonal changes.
At Borealis LIFE, our physicians evaluate abnormal menstrual bleeding to help identify potential underlying causes and determine appropriate treatment options.
Depending on your symptoms, medical history, and diagnosis, evaluation may include pelvic imaging, endometrial sampling, or hysteroscopy. Treatment options may include medication, minimally invasive procedures, or surgery when appropriate.
Whether your periods have gradually become heavier or you've experienced a sudden change in your cycle, our team can help you understand what's happening and explore your options for care.
