AMIGS provides a variety of minimally invasive in-office procedures for patients. For long term birth control, we offer insertion of intrauterine devices (IUDs) and the Implanon device. We place pessaries for appropriate candidates with pelvic organ relaxation/prolapse. The diagnostic procedures we perform include transvaginal ultrasound, colposcopy, endometrial biopsy, and urodynamic studies, as well as loop electrosurgery excision procedure (LEEP) and diagnostic hysteroscopy using local anesthesia. The therapeutic procedures we offer include permanent tubal sterilization (Essure) and uterine cryoablation (Her Option). With the use of only mildly-sedating oral and intramuscular pain and relaxation medications, we are able to safely perform these procedures with little to no discomfort in the convenience of our office.

AMIGS specializes in advanced gynecological surgical procedures which can be performed using minimally invasive techniques. We aim to provide patients with the least invasive options with the fastest recovery time and best cosmetic outcomes. We provide the following laparoscopic procedures: hysterectomy, myomectomy, excision of endometriosis, excision of benign ovarian tumors, repair of pelvic floor relaxation/prolapse, removal of dilated fallopian tubes (hydrosalpinx), tubal ligation, and prophylactic removal of tubes and ovaries. We also offer operative hysteroscopy, endometrial ablation, correction of stress urinary incontinence with the placement of a suburethral sling (TVT-O), and improvement of urge urinary incontinence with the placement of a sacral nerve stimulator (interstim). Our conversion rate from laparoscopy to open surgery is less than 0.2%.

AMIGS occasionally performs inpatient gynecologic surgery. In special circumstances, we do offer abdominal myomectomy, abdominal hysterectomy, vaginal hysterectomy, and removal of benign pelvic masses via laparotomy. In addition, for patients with pelvic organ prolapse who are no longer sexually active and/or cannot undergo general anesthesia for medical reasons, we offer colpectomy/colpocliesis.

What is the da Vinci System?
The da Vinci Surgical System provides patients with new, minimally invasive surgical procedures that offer significant advantages over traditional "open" surgeries and advanced laparoscopic surgeries. It improves the surgeon’s ergonomics, allows for three dimensional (3D) visualization of the surgical field, and gives the surgeon superior control over the camera and instruments by mimicking his/her natural hand, wrist, and finger movements.
Dr. Nathan Mordel is routinely performing the following procedures using the da Vinci Surgical System: robotically-assisted laparoscopic supracervical hysterectomy, robotically-assisted total laparoscopic hysterectomy, robotically-assisted laparoscopic sacrocolpopexy, and robotically-assisted laparoscopic myomectomy.
