Dr. Jeanine Nicole Staples on the Importance of Gynecologic Health

Conditions We Treat

Surgery can address a variety of gynecologic conditions, including:

• Pelvic organ prolapse
• Benign growths, such as uterine fibroids, uterine polyps, ovarian cysts and gestational trophoblastic disease (tumors that are usually benign but can become malignant)
• Endometriosis
• Adenomyosis
• Cervical dysplasia
• Urinary incontinence
• Bartholin gland cyst and abscess
• Gynecologic cancers, including cervical cancer, fallopian tube cancer, ovarian cancer, peritoneal cancer, vaginal cancer and vulvar cancer

Surgical Options for Gynecologic Conditions

Our gynecologic surgeons are experts in a variety of traditional open, laparoscopic and minimally invasive surgical approaches, including:

• Hysterectomy (uterus removal)
• Myomectomy (fibroid removal)
• Radical surgery for cancer and tumor debulking
• Reconstructive surgery to restore function of the pelvic organs
• Surgery for pelvic organ prolapse
• Dilation and curettage (D&C) (removal of tissue from inside your uterus)
• Diagnostic to determine tissue abnormalities
• Therapeutic to potentially help with abnormal bleeding

Why choose a gynecologic surgical specialist?

Gynecologists receive surgical training during their residency, and some go on to practice gynecologic surgery. Most gynecologists practice women’s medicine, which occasionally includes surgery. 

Our gynecologic surgical specialists are fully focused on the surgical needs of women; we do not practice general women’s health. When you have a choice, select a specialist who is experienced in performing the procedure you need and is skilled in the most effective and minimally invasive approaches.

The Johns Hopkins specialists at Sibley perform more than 600 gynecologic surgeries a year. All our surgeons have completed fellowship training to advance in their area of expertise, whether it’s gynecologic oncology or female pelvic medicine and reconstructive surgery.
