Dr. Hye-Chun Hur has been a minimally invasive surgical specialist for nearly 20 years and has dedicated her career to patients with gynecologic problems. As a surgical consultant at ��������Ƶ Hospital—Brooklyn, she manages benign conditions such as uterine septa and other congenital uterine anomalies, endometrial polyps, uterine fibroids, adenomyosis, endometriosis, hydrosalpinx, and ovarian cysts that may occur with pelvic pain or infertility, with or without abnormal uterine bleeding.

Carefully listening to people as they describe their symptoms allows Dr. Hur to create personalized treatment plans. This approach optimizes treatment benefits, minimizes risks, and supports the patient’s reproductive goals. In addition, she encourages patients to become involved in the decisions made about their care.

Dr. Hur offers minimally invasive treatment whenever possible. Notably, uterine bleeding and fibroids may benefit from medications, intrauterine devices, uterine fibroid embolization, or transcervical radiofrequency ablation. When surgery is necessary, Dr. Hur considers minimally invasive approaches such as laparoscopic or robotic-assisted surgery and hysteroscopy. If open surgery is necessary, she keeps the abdominal incision as small as possible to allow for less pain, less scarring, and a faster recovery.

In addition, Dr. Hur incorporates a patient’s family planning preferences into the care plan and optimizes fertility-sparing procedures to preserve the uterus and ovaries when appropriate. Recommended treatment may vary by a patient’s age, hormone status, and reproductive goals.

Dr. Hur’s research interests include surgical education and comparing minimally invasive gynecologic surgery to more conventional techniques. She has received numerous teaching awards and is involved in the American Association of Gynecologic Laparoscopists (AAGL), the Society of Gynecologic Surgeons, and the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists. She serves on the board of the AAGL Fellowship in Minimally Invasive Gynecologic Surgery. Dr. Hur has remained in academic medicine her entire career and feels privileged to advance women’s healthcare through minimally invasive gynecologic surgery.
