Gynecologic Surgery

Providing Comfort When You Need it the Most

We recognize how difficult surgery can be, both emotionally and physically. We are serious about the prospect of performing surgery, and will only recommend it if it is necessary for you. Our empathetic team will ensure your comfort throughout the process, from preparation through your recovery.

One of the unique things about our practice is that we are able to perform some surgical procedures here in our office. With our in-office procedures, you experience the one-on-one attention you're accustomed to from our team of caregivers.

In-office hysteroscopy/ polypectomy/ endometrial ablation

Removing harmful cells from your reproductive system is a delicate procedure. We have the tools and experience to make the operation as comfortable as possible, including offering each service in our office.

In-office vulvar/ vaginal excisions

This procedure allows our practitioners to eliminate abnormal tissue from the vagina and vulva. Performed in the comfort of our office, it gives us the information we need to diagnose and treat precancerous and cancerous conditions, and heal chronic inflammation.

In-office Cone Biopsy/ LEEP

When abnormal cells are detected in the cervix, a cone biopsy or LEEP may be the best way to identify the cause and ultimately determine the best treatment plan. Our team works tirelessly to ensure your comfort throughout this in-office procedure.

Advanced single incision laparoscopy
Laparoscopic surgery is a minimally invasive way to diagnose, repair, and heal a variety of conditions. Our practitioners are fully trained in this particular form of surgery. Dr. Erin Stoehr is the only gynecologist that performs Advanced Single Incision laparoscopy in the Wheeling area. You can be confident that you’re receiving the best care possible.
Laparoscopic assisted hysterectomy
If your treatment plan necessitates a hysterectomy, we may be able to perform the operation laparoscopically. Typically, this method results in less pain and faster recovery.
Total abdominal hysterectomy
Several conditions (including cancer, fibroids, endometriosis, and heavy vaginal bleeding) require a hysterectomy to treat them effectively. Our practitioners may need to remove the uterus through an abdominal incision. We always take great care to maximize your comfort and help you heal as quickly as possible.
Repair Pelvic Prolapse
If the muscles in your pelvic floor no longer support your pelvic organs, the result is a prolapse. We may be able to treat this condition surgically or through non-surgical means. In either case, we can help you heal.
Excision of Vaginal Septum
Repairing this congenital condition, when a “wall” forms within the vagina, requires minimally invasive surgery. We can often perform this procedure from the comfort of our office.
