A lot of them don't need surgery and we treat them other ways. But those that do, I emphasize doing this, a minimally invasive approach. And that's the division that I'm in, the MIGS division, minimally invasive gynecology surgery. It's one of the top centers in the region and not the world. And we have an amazing set of gynecologists that work here, including the people in my MIGS group. They are just wonderful surgeons and people with a large expertise.
One of the things that we're going to be doing more of in my new office is making it a menopause center for people that have all kinds of menopausal problems. A large part of our population is getting older. And those women need help dealing with menopause and all the symptoms. As I mentioned, minimally invasive surgery is the division that I'm in. And that is basically doing surgeries through small little incisions, pinky-sized incisions, removing big fibroids through these small little holes so people don't have to have big incisions.
And they don't have to stay in the hospital very long at all. Some of them go home on the day of surgery. So laparoscopy, especially for endometriosis fibroid uteruses, robotic laparoscopy, I do a lot of that. And then, surgeries for treating pelvic-- or for treating heavy bleeding menstrual problems, the [INAUDIBLE] all that sort of surgery. Treating endometriosis is a lot of what I do too.
