Outpatient OBGYN Surgery

What is outpatient OBGYN surgery? 

OBGYN surgeries are common and can help diagnose or treat conditions related to reproductive health. Some procedures, such as childbirth or major gynecologic surgery, are done in the hospital. However, many women’s health procedures can be performed safely in an outpatient setting. This means you can go home the same day. 

Outpatient OBGYN surgery is often used to: 

• Treat conditions like fibroids, abnormal bleeding or pelvic pain 
• Provide permanent birth control, such as tubal ligation 
• Support miscarriage management with compassionate care 

These procedures are usually minimally invasive, which may mean smaller incisions, fewer risks and a faster recovery. Many patients also appreciate the calmer environment and lower costs compared to a hospital stay. 

Your doctor will help you understand your options and where your procedure should take place based on your health and needs. 

Common outpatient OBGYN surgery procedures 

Banner Surgery Centers and Banner Hospitals offer a wide range of outpatient procedures to support your reproductive wellness.  

Common surgeries and treatments include: 

• Hysteroscopy biopsy – looks inside the uterus and removes a tissue sample for testing 
• Tubal ligation – permanent birth control by blocking the fallopian tubes 
• Miscarriage care – gentle and supportive treatment during pregnancy loss 
• Hysteroscopy ablation – treats heavy menstrual bleeding by removing the lining of the uterus 
• Removal of benign or malignant tissue – helps treat growths in the uterus or fallopian tubes 
• Lesion removal – treats abnormal areas that could cause bleeding or discomfort 
• Fibroid removal – relieves pain or pressure caused by uterine fibroids 
• Cervical conization (cone biopsy) – removes abnormal cervical tissue found during screening 
• Bladder defect repair – helps with bladder support problems that may cause leaking 

Our surgical teams use modern technology and techniques to reduce pain and get you back to daily life sooner.
