Introducing da Vinci Robotic Minimally Invasive Surgery

The doctors at Ob-Gyne Associates of Libertyville are pleased to announce the introduction of robotic surgery to our practice. Robotic surgery affords better visualization and precision to the minimally invasive (laparoscopic) procedures that we have been doing for years. It will also allow for a minimally invasive procedure that may have previously required a large incision. This translates to a shorter hospital stay and a quicker recovery with return to normal activities. For more information, speak to your doctor or check out www.intuitivesurgical.com or www.davincisurgery.com.

Endometrial Ablation Testimonial

Just a few lines of praise and encouragement for anyone considering an "ablation" . Just do it! I had the procedure done over two years ago by Dr. Spellman and have not had a period or cramping since then. I'm not sure why I used to call it "my friend" because it never was....there were times when I would bleed so heavily for so long that I thought I'd end up in the emergency room. I researched the procedure and spoke with two different gynecologists who were very patient with me and explained the procedure in detail. Yet I was still wary. Eventually, I was so exhausted from from visits from "my friend" all the time (she came much more often than once a month) and the toll she took on my mind and body, I took the plunge and had the procedure done. I am so glad I did!

A Very Satisfied Patient
