Laparoscopic Surgery
Laparoscopic surgery is a surgical procedure in which the surgeon makes a small incision in the patient’s abdomen which allows the insertion of a very small telescope. Using this instrument allows the surgeon to see the inside of the abdomen to perform the following procedures:
-
Excision of endometriosis
-
Removal of scar tissue (adhesions) to lessen pain
-
Removal of ovarian cysts
-
Removal of the uterus (hysterectomy)
-
Removal of fibroids (myomectomy)
-
Correction of urinary stress incontinence (bladder tack) and/or pelvic prolapse or pelvic relaxation
-
Treatment of ovarian and endometrial cancer
-
Endometrial ablation for correction of uterine bleeding
Hysteroscopic Surgery

-
Excision of polyps
-
Removal of scar tissue (adhesions)
-
Removal of fibroids (myomectomy)

Da Vinci Robotic Surgery
For complex hysterectomies and other gynecologic procedures, robot-assisted surgery with the da Vinci® Surgical System may be the most effective, least invasive treatment option. Surgeons using the da Vinci System operate with greater precision and control, minimizing the pain and risk associated with large incisions while increasing the likelihood of a fast recovery and excellent clinical outcomes.
Dr. Mel Kurtulus is an expert in robotic and laparoscopic gynecologic surgery. He is one of only 23 surgeons in the country, and the only surgeon in San Diego.
