Thank you for your question. Laparoscopy is a minimally invasive surgical approach commonly recommended for various pelvic conditions, including endometriosis, ovarian cysts, fibroids, and chronic pelvic pain. This procedure typically offers faster recovery, less postoperative discomfort, and smaller incisions compared to traditional open surgery.
In Chicago, several hospitals are well-known for their expertise in minimally invasive gynecologic and pelvic surgery. These facilities offer high-quality care, strong patient satisfaction ratings, and may provide affordable options—especially for patients covered under MHN. Here are a few notable options to consider:
University of Chicago Medicine – Offers a leading program in minimally invasive gynecology. Their surgeons are highly experienced in advanced laparoscopic procedures and provide personalized, patient-centered care.
Northwestern Medicine – Prentice Women’s Hospital – This hospital has a strong reputation for women’s health and minimally invasive surgery. Their gynecologic surgeons specialize in laparoscopic treatment for a range of pelvic conditions.
Rush University Medical Center – Known for its excellent surgical outcomes and comprehensive women’s health services, Rush offers laparoscopic procedures performed by board-certified specialists with access to advanced technology.
Advocate Illinois Masonic Medical Center – Provides affordable care and is recognized for its experienced gynecologic surgery team. Many patients choose this hospital for its balance of quality, cost-effective care, and personalized attention.
Loyola Medicine – Offers both traditional and robotic-assisted laparoscopy, along with full-spectrum pelvic health services. They are known for their integrated care and support throughout the surgical process.
If you are enrolled with MHN, several of these hospitals may fall within the network, helping you access this treatment at a significantly reduced cost. I recommend contacting MHN member services or using the MHN provider directory to confirm which hospitals are covered by your plan.
It’s also advisable to schedule a consultation with a gynecologic surgeon to evaluate your condition and determine the most appropriate surgical approach.
