When necessary, surgery may be the best option to effectively treat certain gynecological conditions and disorders.
Dr. Franco is among the Rocky Mountain Region’s leading specialists in minimally invasive procedures. He specializes in and is well respected for outcomes in Laparoscopic SupraCervical Hysterectomy, a type of surgery that has proven highly effective in treating patients with uterine fibroids and heavy periods. Dr. Franco uses robot-assisted surgery with the da Vinci® Surgical System when appropriate for the patient. In addition to its successful results, this procedure typically involves less pain and faster recoveries for patients. In fact, in most cases, patients are able to return to their usual schedules and activities within one to two weeks following surgery. Based on your particular healthcare needs and goals, Dr. Franco will work with you to determine the best treatment option to achieve your desired results.
With every procedure, our team will walk you through all necessary steps to prepare for surgery, minimize discomfort and speed recovery afterwards. The following is a list of the potential surgical options we currently offer at Columbine Women’s Care:
