Centre for Advanced Gynecological Surgery

Nowhere else are these words more evident than at the Center for Advanced Gynecological Surgery. The Center was established in 1999 to provide women the
best care available in gynecology. Dr. Francois M. Blaudeau, founder of the Institute
for Minimally Invasive Surgery, a non-profit organization that promotes new surgical advancement, has been a pioneer in the field of minimally invasive surgery. Laparascopic techniques have revolutionized the way surgery is approached, providing a quicker
recovery time, less pain and a greater reduced cost than with traditional surgery. Dr. Blaudeau also promotes the success rate of laparoscopy, along with the safety factor
this technique provides. Ultimately, the safety and success rate determines which procedures the Center will perform.

Dr. Blaudeau consults with patients about what medical approaches to take. Surgery
may not be needed in some cases. Physical therapy and medication is all that may be required. However, when the decision is made to move forward with surgery, having the most qualified surgeon available is critical in a patients' decision. Traditional surgeries
used to take many hours to perform and usually meant recovery times would amount to
6 weeks or more, resulting in expensive hospital stays. The changing roles of women in
the workplace have made long recovery times impractical. Today, women not only raise families, but also are financial providers that can't afford to be away from their professional lives. Dr Blaudeau's minimally invasive techniques will give women the opportunity to
get back to work sooner and resume their normal activities with their families and friends, probably the best benefit of all.

Progressive treatment and compassionate care are not just words, but a way of
}life at the Center for Advanced Gynecological Surgery. They understand women have choices on whom to rely on for their health care. The Center has become one of the
leading gynecological surgical centers because of their commitment to today's woman.
Dr. Francois Blaudeau is currently taking new patients for private, informative
consultations.
