arranged through Trilakes Ob/Gyn, . Dr. Kirollos has been performing Gynecologic and Urogynecologic surgeries for over 20 years and is certified in Gynecologic surgery by both the Royal College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists (London) and the Royal College of Surgeons ( Edinburgh). Dr. Kirollos continuously attempts to bring the latest in minimally invasive surgical techniques to the North Country. He was the first to introduce the Novasure Endometrial ablation, Essure permanent birth control , TVT for urinary incontinence and LSH (Laparoscopic supracervical hysterectomy) to the Adirondack Medical Center.
All surgeries are performed at the (AMC). Our staff Anesthesiologists are highly experienced and extremely safe. AMC Operating Department is well staffed with experienced highly trained staff and is well equipped with the latest instruments and electronic surgical devices.
The following list represents some of the commonly performed surgeries and is not intended to be an exhaustive list of all the surgical procedures that can be performed. |

TriLakes OB/GYN is pleased to offer in office treatment for heavy menstrual periods. The Her Option procedure is painless and takes about 20 minutes. A small device is inserted into the uterus under local anesthetic . The lining of the uterus (endometrium) is frozen resulting in lighter or no periods. There is no recovery after the procedure. You may go back to your normal life the next morning. Pregnancy is contraindicated after this procedure. |
|
This is the newest method of permanent birth control without surgery. Two small implants are inserted into the tubes through a telescope that is introduced through the vagina without incision. The procedure is highly effective and requires no recovery.
|

and TVT Obturator approach (TVTO): these are the modern treatments for urinary stress incontinence. A suburethral sling, a piece of synthetic tape is strapped underneath the urethra to provide support. Both TVT and TVTO are safe, highly effective, no incisions and best of all that they do not require recovery. Most patients can go back to their work within 4 to 7 days. |
|
This is a urethral implant that restores continence and confidence without surgery. The implant is injected into the urethra using a telescope, without the need for incisions.
|
|
Surgery to correct prolapse (bulging or sagging of pelvic floor organs) is intended to provide support to the weakened tissues, correcting the prolapse and preventing recurrence. There are many different surgeries that may be performed, depending on the type and extent of prolapse as well as the patient's general health and preferences. In general, procedures involve strengthening the connective tissues that have weakened or attaching the prolapsed organ to a nearby structure.
Modern prolapse surgeries involve the insertion of supporting synthetic materials (Mesh) that allows for a stronger support and reduce the risk of recurrence.

Gynecologic surgeons were pioneers in developing laparoscopic surgery – a minimally invasive technique that uses a small telescope called a laparoscope inserted through the umbilicus to allow surgeons to see inside patients and perform procedures without making large incisions. Laparoscopic techniques are used to diagnose various conditions such as pelvic pain, infertility, ovarian tumors and ectopic pregnancies. In addition laparoscopic hysterectomy has gained popularity among women because of the speedy recovery and lack of large scar.

Vaginal reconstructive surgery aims at restoring vaginal anatomy and correcting prolapse without sacrificing vaginal function or compromising sexual function. Traditional surgical techniques often resulted in a narrow and short vagina that is not optimal for sexual function. New surgical techniques and the uses of a varies of Mesh types allowed for strong repair without shortening or narrowing the vagina and thus maintaining optimal sexual function.

Hysterectomy is the removal of the uterus, with or without removal of the cervix and with or without removal of the fallopian tubes and ovaries. There are many types of hysterectomy and many options depending on your condition and symptoms. Undergoing a hysterectomy is a serious decision and is discussed as a last resort. The advantages and disadvantages of the various types of hysterectomy and whether or not to remove the cervix or the ovaries are discussed prior to surgery. |
|
|
This is the newest type of hysterectomy where the uterus is removed through small incisions during laparoscopy. The cervix and ovaries are often left in place to maintain hormone function unless you have decided prior to surgery to have them removed. The stay in the hospital is usually overnight and recovery time is about 2 to 3 weeks.
|
|
|
The uterus and cervix are removed through the vagina. The stay in the hospital is usually overnight. Recovery time is about 4 weeks.
|
|
|
The top part of the uterus with or without the ovaries are cut through the laparoscope and the remainder of the uterus and cervix are cut through the vagina. The uterus and cervix are then removed through the vagina. Stay in the hospital is overnight and recovery is about 4 weeks.
|
|
|
The uterus with or without the ovaries are removed through an abdominal incision similar to that of a cesarean section. Stay in the hospital is 3 to 4 nights and recovery time is 6 to 8 weeks.
