Obstetrics and Gynecology is the medical specialty that encompasses the two subspecialties of obstetrics and gynecology. An obstetrician-gynecologist, or OB-GYN, is a healthcare professional who specializes in female reproductive health.
Minimally invasive gynecologic surgery (MIGS) is recommended for a wide range of conditions including fibroids, ovarian cysts and endometriosis. Performed by surgical specialists, these advanced procedures heal more quickly and carry a lower risk of infection.
