USA Health is the only health system in the area to offer vaginal natural orifice transluminal endoscopic surgery (vNOTES), an advanced approach to hysterectomy that removes the uterus through the vagina, with no abdominal incisions.
Data suggests many women experience negative effects from menopausal symptoms and often do not know how to seek support in the workplace – or they remain silent, fearing they will be stigmatized.
vNOTES is an innovative technique that inserts a device through the vagina to perform common procedures such as hysterectomies. The technique is used to replace laparoscopic surgery, an operation performed using small incisions through the abdomen or pelvis.
In an effort to help relieve patient concerns, USA Health’s Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology has added the Pediatric and Adolescent Gynecology Division.
