Let’s be honest: Gynecological issues can get in the way of everyday life in a big way.

And with a new minimally invasive gynecological surgery location in High Point, exceptional specialty gynecological care is more accessible than ever for everyone in the Triad!
Atrium Health Wake Forest Baptist’s surgeons can make tiny laparoscopic incisions, utilizing laparoscopic and robotic technology. This means not only is the surgery less invasive, it’s also more precise and results in a smoother recovery than traditional open surgery. The specialists at Atrium Health Wake Forest Baptist have completed additional fellowship training in Minimally Invasive Gynecologic Surgery (MIGS), so they can provide these kinds of less invasive procedures for a variety of gynecological conditions.
“Generally, if feasible, minimally invasive surgery is the preferred route for all patients due to less post-operative pain, lower rates of infection, lower blood loss and a shorter hospital stay, affording an overall speedier recovery,” said Eva Reina, MD, FACOG.
Dr. Reina shared now that Atrium Health Wake Forest Baptist offers MIGS in High Point, they are able to provide additional access for these life-changing procedures.
“Recent research shows significant differences in the rates of minimally invasive gynecologic surgery across racial and ethnic groups,” she said. “We hope that by expanding this subspeciality service into the High Point community, it will allow for greater accessibility to these types of procedures in order to get patients back to enjoying life sooner.”
Common minimally invasive surgical procedures include:
- Endometriosis surgery
- Essure removal
- Hysterectomy
