Gynecologic Surgery
Gynecologic surgery is surgery performed on a woman's pelvic region. It is usually performed by an OB/GYN and can involve the bladder, rectum, or reproductive organs. Surgery in this area may be performed for many reasons, but the most common procedures include:
More and more, gynecologic surgery is moving towards the use of minimally invasive surgery. Minimally invasive surgery uses several small incisions and tiny tools and scopes to perform the operation, rather than one large opening. While it is not appropriate in every case, minimally invasive surgery can lead to less scarring, less blood loss, faster recovery, and a lower chance for infection. Minimally invasive gynecologic surgery may be performed with a laparoscope, a thin tube with a camera on the end that allows the surgeon to see inside the body. It may also be performed robotically, using even smaller tools and cameras that a surgeon controls from a computer. Robotic surgery allows even better vision, precision, and control than laparoscopic surgery.
Over the course of a lifetime, many women need pelvic surgery to stay healthy. Qualified gynecologic surgeons will have the right tools at their disposal to provide care with a minimum of discomfort.
Hysteroscopy
A hysteroscopy is a diagnostic procedure performed to examine the inside of the uterus. A thin tube with a camera and light at the end, called a hysteroscope, is inserted through the vagina. It allows the physician to view the cervix and uterine walls. Sometimes, gas or liquid is used to expand the uterus and allow a better view. If necessary, tiny instruments can also be passed through the tube and used for certain procedures, such as taking a biopsy or removing a polyp.
Hysteroscopy is often done to figure out the cause of abnormal menstrual bleeding. However, it can also be used to:
If surgery is necessary, hysteroscopy is often used along with laparoscopy, a kind of surgery performed through small incisions in the abdomen. Tiny tools are passed through the incisions, and the hysteroscope guides the doctors while surgery is performed.
Robotic Surgery
Robotic surgery is a type of minimally invasive surgery, using a tiny opening to get inside the body instead of making a large cut. It uses small tools attached to a thin robotic arm, which is controlled by the surgeon. Robotic surgery may be referred to by the specific kind of robot that is used. The most advanced robot currently in use is called the da Vinci, and surgery using it is sometimes called da Vinci surgery.
There are many benefits to robotic surgery, both for the patient and the surgeon. Robotic surgery allows for more precise movements and increased control during very delicate surgical procedures. This makes performing surgery accurately much easier for surgeons and reduces fatigue. The smaller 'hand' of the robot can enter the body via a much smaller opening, which reduces the risk of infection and scarring and leads to a faster recovery. The robotic hands also contain tiny moveable cameras among their tools, giving surgeons a much closer view of the procedure than would be possible with traditional surgery.

With over two decades of experience, Dr. Schattman is a renowned reproductive endocrinologist and infertility specialist, a world-class surgeon and one of the leaders in the field of assisted reproductive technologies and fertility preservation. Fertility PreservationWomen facing cancer treatment have an urgent need to preserve their reproductive options. Even women not facing cancer have a need to preserve their fertility due to the natural decline in fertility with advancing age. Dr. Schattman has extensive expertise in caring for patients who are considering preserving or extending their fertility by freezing eggs or embryos. Egg or embryo freezing is an option for women in a wide range of circumstances, including those who may have difficulty getting pregnant after cancer treatment (oncofertility). At our center, we have many years of experience with egg and embryo freezing–in fact, we are one of the pioneering centers in the country – and we can provide these treatment options to patients with little or no delay.Reproductive Surgery Dr. Schattman is a world-class reproductive surgeon, who is a leader in minimally invasive surgery. One of the first gynecologic surgeons to perform robotic surgery for reversal of tubal ligation and excision of uterine fibroids, Dr. Schattman is particularly experienced in the use of advanced surgical methods to treat common causes of infertility such as blocked fallopian tubes, intrauterine adhesions, endometriosis and ovarian cysts. In addition to treating infertility, Dr. Schattman also uses minimally invasive surgical techniques to treat gynecologic conditions like abnormal uterine bleeding and uterine malformations. Education and ExperienceDr. Schattman earned a B.S. in 1983 from St. Lawrence University in Canton, New York, and his M.D. in 1987 from the State University of New York, Downstate Medical Center, in Brooklyn, New York.  He completed a residency in Obstetrics and Gynecology at The George Washington University Medical Center in 1991 followed by a fellowship in Reproductive Endocrinology and Infertility at Weill Cornell Medical College/NY Presbyterian Hospital that he completed in 1993.
