The Center for Innovative GYN Care

Minimally invasive GYN hyper-specialists—putting patients first, always. Our compassionate surgeons operate in Maryland and New Jersey. ✅

The Center for Innovative GYN Care advanced laparoscopic GYN surgeons have redefined the meaning of minimally invasive GYN surgery. We have developed innovative and revolutionary GYN techniques to simplify even the most complicated surgical procedures for conditions like fibroids or endometriosis. Our specialists use the CIGC exclusive LAAM technique to perform laparoscopic myomectomy for fertility. LAAM uses only 2 small incisions, and women recover in less than 2 weeks. The advanced DualPortGYN technique is used to perform procedures like laparoscopic hysterectomy and endometriosis excision with two 5 mm incisions, and recovery is 1 week. Our award-winning minimally invasive GYN specialists are internationally known for their leadership and expertise in the diagnosis and management of GYN conditions, and cutting edge minimally invasive gynecological surgery techniques for women of all ages. We care for each patient as a true individual, and through a detailed and personalized approach we have our patients back on their feet as swiftly as possible.

A 49-year-old patient traveled to CIGC from Georgia after being unable to find a surgeon willing to perform her procedure laparoscopically.

Using advanced minimally invasive surgical techniques, our team successfully removed a massive pelvic mass weighing 14.8 pounds, the largest case we have treated so far this year. Despite the case's size and complexity, the patient was able to leave the surgery center the same day and made a full recovery within two weeks.

Cases like this highlight how specialized minimally invasive surgical expertise can allow even very large and complex pelvic conditions to be treated without large open incisions, helping patients recover faster and return to normal activities sooner.

During Endometriosis Awareness Month, stories like this also serve as a reminder that patients with complex pelvic disease deserve access to surgeons experienced in advanced minimally invasive techniques.

March is Endometriosis Awareness Month, highlighting a condition that affects 1 in 10 people assigned female at birth, yet still takes an average of seven years to diagnose.

During our webinar, Endometriosis: The Social and Medical Crisis Hiding in Plain Sight, Dr. Natalya Danilyants, co-founder of the Center for Innovative GYN Care, explained that endometriosis occurs when tissue similar to the endometrium (the lining inside the uterus) grows outside the uterus.

These implants most commonly develop on organs within the pelvis and abdomen, such as the ovaries and fallopian tubes, where they can cause chronic inflammation, severe pelvic pain, and other life-disrupting symptoms. In rare cases, endometriosis has even been found outside the abdominal cavity.

Raising awareness is essential to improving diagnosis and ensuring patients living with endometriosis are heard and properly cared for.

03/05/2026

March is Endometriosis Awareness Month, a time dedicated to increasing understanding of a condition that affects millions of women worldwide — yet is often misunderstood or overlooked.

Endometriosis occurs when tissue similar to the lining of the uterus grows outside the uterus and implants on pelvic organs and the peritoneal lining. These implants can cause inflammation, scar tissue, and adhesions that lead to a wide range of symptoms affecting daily life, fertility, and overall health.

While painful periods are commonly associated with the disease, many patients experience additional symptoms that extend far beyond menstrual cramps. Because endometriosis implants are often too small to be seen on imaging studies such as ultrasound or MRI, many patients spend years searching for answers before receiving a diagnosis.

Recognizing the broader symptoms of endometriosis is an important step toward earlier diagnosis and appropriate treatment.

Innovations Surgery Center is proud to introduce robotic-assisted gynecologic surgery in our specialized ambulatory surgery center — becoming the first ASC in the Mid-Atlantic region to offer this advanced technology for complex gynecologic procedures.

Beginning this year, minimally invasive surgeries for conditions such as endometriosis, fibroids, adenomyosis, abnormal uterine bleeding, chronic pelvic pain, and advanced hysterectomy cases will be performed using the da Vinci Xi platform.

What makes this meaningful for patients is not just the technology — it’s the setting. Delivering robotic-assisted surgery in a purpose-built outpatient center supports smaller incisions, reduced blood loss, faster recovery, shorter stays, and significantly lower facility costs compared to hospital outpatient surgery.

This is advanced gynecologic care — delivered with precision, efficiency, and value.

Endometriosis occurs when tissue from the endometrial lining grows outside the uterus onto pelvic organs and the peritoneal lining. Because implants are often tiny, imaging studies like ultrasound, MRI, and CT scan can appear normal, even when symptoms are severe 🩺🔍

A 7–10 year delay in diagnosis is common, and that delay in care allows disease to progress, pain to worsen, and fertility complications to increase. Laparoscopic surgery is the only way to confirm endometriosis, determine the stage, and excise the disease.

Preserving Fertility: 15cm Endometrioma Removed Without Open Surgery

At just 28 years old, this patient traveled from New Hampshire to undergo advanced laparoscopic surgery for a very large ovarian mass. What appeared to be a cyst was confirmed on pathology as a 15 cm endometrioma — about the size of a cantaloupe.

Our team successfully removed the mass, preserved her o***y, and avoided a large open incision. She went home the same day and was able to travel back to New Hampshire only a few days later 🩺🏥

Large ovarian masses do not automatically require open surgery or loss of an o***y. With specialized minimally invasive expertise, fertility can often be protected, and recovery can be significantly faster 💛

Pelvic pain treatment should always be individualized. Some patients improve with conservative therapies, particularly in mild cases. However, structural conditions such as endometriosis and adenomyosis cannot be cured through symptom suppression alone 🩺

When pain is progressive, disabling, or impacting fertility, surgical evaluation may be appropriate. Laparoscopy provides both diagnosis and treatment for endometriosis, and carefully selected patients with adenomyosis may benefit from surgical management.

The goal is lasting relief based on accurate diagnosis rather than temporary symptom masking.

Pelvic pain is often caused by structural conditions such as endometriosis and adenomyosis. These are not inflammatory flares that can be suppressed with medication. Endometriosis requires laparoscopy for definitive diagnosis and excision, and adenomyosis is frequently diagnosed based on clinical symptoms rather than ultrasound findings 🩺🔍

When pain becomes severe, progressive, affects fertility, or does not improve with conservative therapy, surgical evaluation may be appropriate. Early specialist assessment can prevent prolonged suffering, delayed diagnosis, and disease progression.

Back to Normal in Just Two Weeks After Advanced Fibroid Removal

At 39 years old, this patient underwent LAAM fibroid removal surgery and had innumerable fibroids successfully removed — all while preserving her uterus. She went home the very same day, required narcotic pain medication for just one day, and was back to her normal routine within two weeks.

For women suffering from heavy bleeding, pelvic pressure, or fibroid-related pain, advanced minimally invasive surgery can offer life-changing relief without prolonged recovery. At the Center for Innovative GYN Care, we specialize in complex fibroid removal with faster healing and exceptional outcomes.

02/19/2026

Millions are silently fighting endometriosis, yet this devastating disease still takes an average of seven years to diagnose. During that time, many lose moments of their lives, career opportunities, relationships, and even fertility to untreated pain.

In honor of Endometriosis Awareness Month, join Dr. Natalya Danilyants and Dr. Virginia Berndt for a powerful discussion on the medical and social costs of ignoring women’s pain. Together, they will explore the realities of endometriosis, including its symptoms, treatment options, socioeconomic impact, and the urgent need for greater awareness and advocacy.

The hour-long webinar will conclude with a live Q&A session, allowing you to have your questions answered directly by the experts.

It’s time to listen, advocate, and ensure endometriosis patients are finally heard and properly cared for 💛

Interstitial cystitis is not officially a gynecologic disorder, but it is a common cause of pelvic pain and frequently coexists with endometriosis. Up to 80 percent of women with chronic pelvic pain may have both conditions contributing to symptoms 🩺

IC symptoms often include bladder pressure, urgency, and pain with filling, while gynecologic pain is frequently cyclical and associated with bleeding or deep pelvic discomfort. Because neither condition reliably appears on routine imaging, diagnosis depends heavily on symptom recognition and specialist evaluation.

Persistent pelvic pain should never be dismissed simply because imaging appears normal.

02/17/2026

Bladder pain and pelvic pain can feel almost identical — and many women experience both.

Patients with endometriosis often report urinary urgency, bladder pressure, pain with urination, or symptoms that resemble a recurrent bladder infection. These symptoms may be caused by interstitial cystitis, endometriosis affecting the bladder surface, or both conditions occurring together. Because these organs share the same pelvic space, distinguishing the source of pain can be challenging.

During laparoscopy for endometriosis, cystoscopy can be performed to evaluate the bladder lining and identify inflammation consistent with interstitial cystitis. Overlap conditions are common, and identifying all contributors is essential for meaningful relief.
