FAQs About Surgery

Gwinnett OB/GYN performs most gynecologic surgeries using minimally invasive techniques, including laparoscopy and hysteroscopy. A hysterectomy can be performed abdominally, laparoscopically or vaginally depending on the indication and your anatomy. Your provider will recommend the approach that is safest and most effective for your specific situation and will explain the benefits and recovery differences at your consultation.
Yes. Gwinnett OB/GYN offers da Vinci robotic surgery for appropriate gynecologic procedures. Robotic-assisted surgery allows for greater precision in minimally invasive operations. Your provider will determine whether robotic surgery is suitable based on the procedure you need and your individual anatomy.
Several procedures at Gwinnett OB/GYN can be performed in our Snellville office without a hospital visit. These include hysteroscopy, endometrial ablation and LEEP. More extensive surgical procedures such as laparoscopy, hysterectomy and robotic surgery take place at a surgical facility. Your provider will specify the setting at your consultation.

In-office procedures are performed at the Gwinnett OB/GYN office in Snellville. Surgical procedures requiring a hospital or surgical facility setting are performed at a facility your provider will confirm at your pre-surgical consultation. Contact the office for details about where your specific procedure will take place.

Recovery time depends on the type of surgery. Laparoscopic procedures generally require 1 to 2 weeks before returning to desk work and 2 to 4 weeks before returning to strenuous activity. Abdominal hysterectomy typically requires 4 to 6 weeks of recovery. Vaginal and laparoscopic hysterectomy may allow for shorter recovery. Your provider will give you specific timelines based on the procedure performed and your individual recovery.

Prior authorization is required by many insurance plans for surgical procedures. Gwinnett OB/GYN will assist with submitting the authorization request on your behalf. Contact your insurance provider to confirm your plan’s requirements and allow sufficient lead time before your surgery date. Our billing office can answer questions about the authorization process.
Seeking a second opinion before a hysterectomy is a reasonable step, and Gwinnett OB/GYN supports patients in making fully informed decisions. Hysterectomy is a major procedure with permanent consequences, and understanding all available alternatives, including endometrial ablation, fibroid treatment or hormonal management, is important before proceeding. Your provider will welcome questions and can refer you to another specialist if you want an independent evaluation.

Bring a photo ID, insurance card, a list of current medications and any prior imaging or lab results related to your condition. If you have seen other specialists for this issue, bring those records as well. A list of questions for your provider is also helpful. The consultation is your opportunity to understand the procedure, risks, recovery and alternatives before you make a decision.

Scheduling depends on insurance authorization, operating room availability and your menstrual cycle timing for certain procedures. Some patients are scheduled within a few weeks of consultation. Contact Gwinnett OB/GYN after your consultation to begin the scheduling process.

Call the Gwinnett OB/GYN main office number, which connects to an on-call provider after hours. Do not wait until your next scheduled appointment if you experience increasing pain, fever, unusual discharge, heavy bleeding or any symptom that concerns you. Go directly to Eastside Medical Center emergency services or call 911 if you believe you are experiencing a surgical emergency.

IMPORTANT NOTICE

OB Billing Changes for 2027

If you are scheduled to deliver in 2027, changes to CMS billing guidelines will affect how your maternity care is billed.

WHAT'S CHANGING

Currently, prenatal visits, delivery, and postpartum care are billed as one global package. Beginning in September, prenatal visits will be billed separately if you are expected to deliver in 2027. You can expect to see individual charges listed on your EОВ.

WHAT'S NOT CHANGING

Your care will not change – only the way it is billed. You will continue to receive the same prenatal, delivery, and postpartum care from your OBGYN team.
