At Novella, we believe surgery should not just treat a condition, it should restore quality of life.
Thanks to advances in modern medicine, many gynecologic procedures can now be performed using minimally invasive and robotic-assisted techniques, allowing for greater precision, less pain, and faster recovery.
Led by Dr. Jessica Hott, a specialist in complex benign gynecology and minimally invasive surgery, our approach is centered on thoughtful evaluation, surgical excellence, and compassionate care.
What is robotic-assisted gynecologic surgery?
Robotic-assisted surgery allows your surgeon to operate with enhanced precision and control using advanced technology.
Through a few very small incisions, Dr. Hott uses a high-definition, magnified 3D view of the surgical area and specialized instruments that allow for delicate, highly precise movements.
What this means for you:
- Smaller incisions
- Less pain after surgery
- Lower risk of complications
- Faster return to daily life
- Improved cosmetic outcomes
What procedures are offered?
At Novella, we offer advanced minimally invasive and robotic techniques for a range of gynecologic conditions, including:
- Hysterectomy – Removal of the uterus (and sometimes cervix)
- Myomectomy – Removal of fibroids while preserving the uterus
- Endometriosis excision – Precise removal of endometriosis to improve pain and function
- Lysis of adhesions – Removal of scar tissue causing pain or organ dysfunction
- Ovarian cystectomy – Removal of ovarian cysts while preserving ovarian tissue
- Salpingectomy – Removal of fallopian tubes for sterilization or risk reductive purposes
- Sacrocolpopexy – Repair of pelvic organ prolapse with restoration of support
- Vaginal vault suspension – Support of the vaginal apex after hysterectomy
Every surgical plan is individualized because your story, your symptoms, and your goals matter.
What are the risks?
All surgical procedures carry some level of risk, including anesthesia-related risks, bleeding, infection, or blood clots.
Minimally invasive and robotic approaches are designed to reduce many of these risks, including:
- Lower blood loss
- Reduced infection risk
- Less postoperative pain
- Shorter recovery time
Before any procedure, we take time to fully review your medical history and ensure you feel informed, prepared, and supported.
What does recovery look like?
Recovery is often faster compared to traditional open surgery.
Most patients:
- Return home the same day or next day
- Resume light activities within days
- Follow up with us 1–2 times after surgery to ensure healing is on track
We stay connected with you through every step of recovery.
Am I a Candidate?
You may be a candidate if:
- You have a condition that can be safely treated with minimally invasive surgery
- You are medically stable for surgery
Some factors may influence surgical planning, but our goal is always to find the safest and most effective option for you.

At Novella, surgery is never the starting point, it is part of a thoughtful, comprehensive plan.
We are known for seeing patients who have been searching for answers for years.
And when surgery is the right next step, it is performed with precision, purpose, and compassion.
