Gynecologic Surgery

When you need a gynecology procedure, you’re in good hands with the highly trained surgical team at North Kansas City Hospital. We’re here with you at every step — from diagnosis through treatment and recovery.

Personalized Care

Your health and comfort are the highest priority. And your needs are specific to you. That’s why at NKCH, we personalize your care. We work to find the most effective and least invasive procedures. Many of our surgeries are outpatient, meaning you can return home the same day for faster recovery.

Conditions We Treat

Your doctor may recommend surgery as the best treatment for these conditions:

• Endometriosis
• Fertility
• Gynecological cancers (cervical, ovarian, uterine, vaginal, vulvar)
• Inability to control urination (urinary incontinence)
• Ovarian cysts
• Pelvic inflammatory disease
• Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS)
• Uterine fibroids

Gynecologic Surgery & Procedures

At NKCH, we’re the best choice for these gynecologic procedures:

• Hysterectomy – Removes all or part of the uterus and possibly the cervix, ovaries and fallopian tubes
• Endometrial ablation – Removes or destroys uterine lining
• Urinary incontinence surgery – Treats the inability to control urination

Minimally Invasive Treatments & Procedures 

Whenever possible, your gynecologist will use the least invasive approach to surgery. Minimally invasive surgery means you’ll recover faster, have less pain and scarring, and have a shorter hospital stay.

Our surgeons can provide:

• Laparoscopy to identify and help diagnose abdominal conditions such as endometriosis
• Robotic-assisted surgery to help experts perform procedures with greater precision, flexibility and dexterity, using technology (NKCH gynecologists have access to DaVinci robotic technology)
• Sacrocolpopexy to repair pelvic organ prolapse and restore the correct anatomical position
• Tubal reanastomosis and tubal ligation reversal to reverse tied fallopian tubes for women wanting to get pregnant
