Her fellowship-trained expertise in minimally invasive gynecologic surgery makes her one of the most technically sophisticated gynecological surgeons in the greater Detroit metropolitan area, capable of performing complex procedures through small incisions that would previously have required large open surgeries with lengthy recovery periods.

Minimally invasive gynecological surgery is the defining clinical strength of Dr. Chamseddine’s practice. She performs laparoscopic and robotic hysterectomy, laparoscopic myomectomy, laparoscopic treatment of endometriosis, and operative hysteroscopy — procedures that address the most common and impactful gynecological conditions affecting women — using the most advanced minimally invasive techniques available. For patients facing hysterectomy, Dr. Chamseddine’s subspecialty expertise means that the vast majority of candidates can undergo this procedure laparoscopically or robotically, rather than through an open abdominal incision — resulting in less pain, a shorter hospital stay, faster return to normal activities, and significantly reduced risk of wound complications.
