Sarah Peters is a physician at Maitri Healthcare for Women. She graduated from the University of North Carolina-Chapel Hill for both her undergraduate and medical degrees before moving to Vermont for OB-GYN residency at UVM in 2021. She and her husband, Dan, fell in love with Vermont during these years and decided to stay. In her free time, she is an avid runner, biker, beach-goer, and sunset chaser, as well as a new convert to winter activities – both outdoor and indoors!  In residency, she became skilled in gynecologic surgery, including robotic surgery, and is excited to offer the full spectrum of medical, surgical management for common GYN complaints, including abnormal uterine bleeding, pelvic pain, endometriosis, fibroids, and risk-reducing surgery for hereditary GYN cancers.

Laparoscopy, Hysteroscopy, Dilation and Curettage (D and C), Removal of uterine fibroids (myomectomy) 
 

Laparoscopy is a minimally-invasive procedure performed in the abdomen and pelvis through small incisions with the aid of a camera. Laparoscopic procedures improve the health of a patient by diagnosing and treating gynecological disorders. Treatment procedures may include removal of abnormal tissue, lesions, or dissolving tissue adhesions. 
 

Hysteroscopy is a procedure that improves health by diagnosing and treating problems of the uterus in women of all ages. Hysteroscopy is performed using a thin tube that is inserted into the vagina to examine the cervix and inside of the uterus. This minimally invasive procedure allows the surgeon to simultaneously diagnose and treat issues such as uterine disorders, including abnormal bleeding, fibroids, polyps and potentially cancer. 
 

Dilation and Curettage is a procedure performed to remove tissue from inside of the uterus to provide samples for diagnosing or treating some uterine conditions including heavy vaginal bleeding, post-menopausal bleeding, and hyperplasia. 
 

Myomectomy is a surgical procedure to remove uterine fibroids (leiomyomas). These are common noncancerous growths that appear in the uterus. The removal of these fibroids has reported improvement in fibroid symptoms, including decreased heavy menstrual bleeding and pelvic pressure. Having a myomectomy versus having a hysterectomy allows for the preservation of the uterus allowing the patient to still bear children.
