Minimally invasive surgery involves performing surgical procedures through small incisions using specialized instruments and cameras. It aims to reduce trauma to the body compared to traditional open surgery.
Minimal Invasion. Maximum Results.
Concerned about post-surgical scarring? We have the answer. Minimally invasive surgery minimizes cutting through skin and tissues with alternative techniques to traditional surgery. This includes using smaller incisions and equipment to help reduce potential pain, complications, recovery time—and scars.
Dr. Hawkins founded the Fibroid and Pelvic Wellness Center of Georgia with the focus of providing women’s health treatments using advanced, minimally invasive techniques.
What to Expect
- Smaller incisions can result in minimal scarring compared to open surgery
- Patients typically experience quicker recovery times
- Associated with less postoperative pain and discomfort
Our Process
While open surgery almost always requires general anesthesia, some minimally invasive procedures don’t. You may only need local anesthesia at the incision site. Hysteroscopic surgery may not require general anesthesia at all and can be performed under sedation.
The small incisions allow endoscopes and tiny surgical instruments easier access into the body. Smaller incisions make for easier recovery with less pain and risk of complications. In general recovery tends to be much faster. You can often go home the same day, and the smaller incisions heal in weeks rather than months.

Some advantages include smaller incisions, reduced pain and scarring, shorter hospital stays, quicker recovery, and lower risk of complications compared to open surgery.
Minimally invasive techniques can be used for a wide range of surgeries, including gynecological procedures such as hysterectomy, myomectomy, ovarian cyst removal, and endometrial ablation, among others.
Most people are candidates for minimally invasive surgeries, especially people who aren’t candidates for traditional open surgery. However, people with certain heart and lung conditions may not be ideal candidates because laparoscopic surgery involves pumping gasses into your abdominal cavity to separate the abdominal wall from your organs, which may cause further heart or lung issues.
