Minimally Invasive Laparoscopy for Women's Health

Laparoscopy is not necessarily new, but its applications have broadened considerably over the past two decades, allowing doctors to diagnose and treat a host of problems that used to require more invasive measures. At Aster OB/GYN, Farris Fahmy, MD, FACOG and Dr. Rachel Roesner, DO perform most of their procedures laparoscopically, giving their patients minimally invasive solutions for many gynecological issues. If you’d like to learn more about laparoscopy, call the Upper West Side, New York, office or use the online form to schedule a consultation.

laparoscopic techniques
There are many advantages with laparoscopy, which is why Dr. Fahmy and Dr. Roesner prefer this technique. Some of these advantages include:
  • Less risk of infection
  • Less recovery and downtime
  • Less tissue damage
  • Less pain
  • Less scarring
One of the biggest advantages of this technique is that Dr. Fahmy and Dr. Roesner are able to perform most of these procedures at their office at Aster OB/GYN.

In these cases, you’re free to go home the same day, but Dr. Fahmy is on call for any questions or situations that may arise in the days and weeks following your laparoscopic procedure.
