What Is Minimally Invasive Gynecologic Surgery?
Minimally invasive gynecologic surgery uses very small incisions — or no incisions at all — to repair or remove parts of the reproductive system. Unlike traditional open surgery, minimally invasive techniques cause significantly less tissue damage, less scarring, and a much faster recovery.
At our Fort Worth gynecology clinic, Dr. Moyers performs minimally invasive surgery using three main approaches:
Laparoscopic Surgery
Laparoscopic gynecology surgery in Fort Worth uses small incisions in the lower abdomen along with a thin, lighted camera called a laparoscope. This allows Dr. Moyers to clearly see inside the pelvis and perform precise surgical repairs without a large open incision.
Hysteroscopy
Hysteroscopy requires no incisions at all. Instead, a small camera is passed through the vagina and cervix directly into the uterus, allowing Dr. Moyers to diagnose and treat conditions inside the uterus with minimal discomfort and no scarring.
daVinci® Robotic Surgery
Dr. Moyers uses the advanced daVinci® robotic surgery system to perform complex gynecologic procedures with greater precision and control. Robotic assistance enhances her surgical capabilities, resulting in more accurate repairs, less bleeding, and faster healing for patients.
Benefits of Minimally Invasive Gynecology in Fort Worth
Compared to traditional open surgery, minimally invasive surgery in Fort Worth, TX offers significant advantages:
Smaller incisions and minimal or no scarring
Less postoperative pain
Reduced bleeding during and after surgery
Lower risk of infection and complications
No hospital stay in most cases
Much faster recovery time
Quicker return to normal daily activities
Dr. Moyers walks you through everything before your procedure — what to expect, how to prepare, and what your recovery will look like — so you feel confident and informed every step of the way.
Conditions Treated With Minimally Invasive Gynecologic Surgery
After a thorough evaluation and diagnosis, Dr. Moyers always begins with conservative, non-surgical treatments first. If those don't provide enough relief, minimally invasive gynecologic surgery in Fort Worth may be the right next step.
Dr. Moyers uses minimally invasive surgery to treat:
Endometriosis
Uterine fibroids
Ovarian cysts
Uterine polyps
Abnormal uterine bleeding
Pelvic organ prolapse
Pelvic adhesions
Pelvic inflammatory disease
In some cases, laparoscopic gynecology surgery in Fort Worth is also used for diagnostic purposes — allowing Dr. Moyers to directly examine your pelvic organs and get a clearer picture than imaging alone can provide.

Does Sky Women's Health perform robotic gynecologic surgery?
Minimally invasive gynecologic surgery treats conditions of the uterus, ovaries and pelvis through tiny incisions, or no incisions at all, using laparoscopy, hysteroscopy or the da Vinci® robotic system. Dr. Carolyn Moyers, a board-certified OB-GYN at Sky Women's Health in Fort Worth, uses these techniques for fibroids, endometriosis, ovarian cysts, polyps and abnormal bleeding, usually with same-day discharge and a faster recovery than open surgery.
Types of minimally invasive gynecologic surgery
| Approach | How it works | Often used for |
|---|---|---|
| Laparoscopy | A thin camera and instruments pass through a few small cuts in the abdomen | Endometriosis, ovarian cysts, pelvic adhesions, diagnosing pelvic pain |
| Hysteroscopy | A slim camera passes through the vagina and cervix into the uterus, with no incisions | Uterine polyps, some fibroids inside the uterus, abnormal bleeding |
| da Vinci® robotic surgery | Dr. Moyers controls robotic instruments through small incisions for added precision | More complex procedures, such as larger fibroids or extensive disease |
Conditions treated
Endometriosis
Uterine fibroids
Ovarian cysts
Uterine polyps
Abnormal uterine bleeding
Pelvic organ prolapse
Pelvic adhesions (scar tissue)
Complications of pelvic inflammatory disease
Surgery is rarely the first step. Dr. Moyers starts with medical and conservative treatment, and recommends surgery only when those have not given enough relief or when a diagnosis needs a direct look inside the pelvis.
Benefits compared with open surgery
Smaller incisions and less scarring
Less pain and blood loss
Lower risk of infection
Most patients go home the same day
Faster return to work and daily life
What is recovery like?
Recovery depends on the procedure. Many women return to light activity within a few days after hysteroscopy and within one to two weeks after laparoscopy, with longer recovery after more extensive surgery. Dr. Moyers goes through your recovery plan before surgery and checks on you afterward.
Surgery planned with your hormones in mind
Because Dr. Moyers is also a Menopause Society Certified Practitioner, she plans surgery with your hormones in mind, including whether your ovaries can be preserved and how hormone therapy.

Gynecologic surgery FAQs
What is the recovery time for minimally invasive gynecologic surgery?
Many patients go home the same day. Recovery ranges from a few days after hysteroscopy to a few weeks after more extensive laparoscopic or robotic surgery. Dr. Moyers gives you a timeline for your specific procedure.
Is laparoscopic surgery safe?
Yes. Laparoscopy is a well-established approach with lower rates of infection and blood loss than open surgery. As with any surgery there are risks, which Dr. Moyers reviews with you before you decide.
Will I need surgery for endometriosis or fibroids?
Not always. Many women manage endometriosis and fibroids with medication, hormonal treatment or monitoring. Surgery is recommended when symptoms continue despite treatment or when it offers the best chance of relief.
How do I know if I need gynecologic surgery?
Surgery may be considered when pelvic pain, heavy bleeding, fibroids, endometriosis or cysts keep affecting your life despite medical treatment, or when a diagnosis can only be confirmed by looking inside the pelvis. A consultation helps you weigh every option.
Does Dr. Moyers perform robotic surgery?
Yes. Dr. Moyers uses the da Vinci® robotic surgical system for selected gynecologic procedures that benefit from greater precision.
