Women's Health Specialists of Dallas

We partnered with a non-profit refugee resource center here in Dallas that helps connect refugees with the appropriate resources to facilitate a smoother and more stable transition to life here in America.

(http://ow.ly/lFCI30oSYOn)

Many medical treatments serve just one function, but a laparoscopy serves many purposes. In fact, your gynecologist can perform a laparoscopy to diagnose and then treat many different conditions! For example, your gynecologist at Women's Health Specialists of Dallas can use this method to remove cysts, remove endometrial lesions, and even determine the cause of infertility. Laparoscopy isn't like other types of surgery; it's minimally invasive, which means your recovery will be easier and quicker than traditional open surgery.
