Travel Program

The Center for Innovative GYN Care has made traveling for minimally invasive GYN surgery a life-changing and seamless experience.

Many of our patients travel from around the world to meet with the surgical specialists. The state-of-the-art DualPortGYN and LAAM techniques were developed by the fellowship-trained laparoscopic minimally invasive surgeons at CIGC to treat complex GYN conditions that would normally be performed as open or robotic procedures.

To date, women from 45 states and 10 countries have traveled to our centers for our unique advanced surgical techniques. We want to make traveling for GYN surgery from long distances as seamless as possible.

INITIAL CONSULTATION

• For patients intending to travel over long distances for surgery, the initial consultation may be conducted virtually.
• Documentation about your condition, such as MRIs or ultrasounds will need to be provided. 
• If surgery is recommended during your consultation, you will be contacted by the Surgical Coordinator who will provide detailed preoperative instructions including travel information. These instructions will be tailored to you and specific to the procedure in which you are scheduling.

PREPARING FOR GYN SURGERY

• At our surgery centers, all procedures are performed in an outpatient setting.
• Patients will need to have hotel accommodation arranged prior to surgery.
• All patients must come with a companion. This can be a family member, a friend, or a nurse. Patients will not be able to care for themselves for the first few days after surgery. It is important to have someone with you who can help during that initial stage.

AFTER SURGERY

• All patients must have a traveling companion to assist with care once you leave the surgery center.

POST-OP

• Follow-up with the surgeon can be done in person or through a virtual consult.
