Bluewater Health has become one of the first hospitals in Ontario to perform a cutting-edge, minimally invasive hysterectomy called vNOTES. On September 19th, Obstetrician-Gynecologists Dr. Stephanie Lammers and Dr. Brittany Hoover successfully completed the hospital’s first two procedures. The surgery leaves no external scars and offering patients less pain, shorter hospital stays, and faster recovery. The procedure can also reduce the risk of ovarian cancer by removing Fallopian tubes and, in many cases, ovaries.
