DaVinci Video

The DaVinci Surgery System is comprised of a surgeon's console and a bedside cart that uses four interactive robotic arms. The robotically assisted instruments mimic the movements of the surgeon's hands. See a video of the da Vinci Surgery System in action

Alternatives to Hysterectomy

Hysterectomy may not be the best option for everyone. In some cases, a less invasive procedure is a better choice. Our physicians also specialize in a procedure known as an "endometrial ablation". This procedure treats heavy and painful periods and can even be performed in the office. We are proud to announce that we are the only practice in Upstate South Carolina to offer this innovative procedure in our office. Learn more about endometrial ablations.
