On Monday, April 11, Ochsner OB/GYN Dr. Jennifer Straney successfully performed a new procedure at Chabert Medical Center in Houma.


The procedure performed was a vNOTES hysterectomy. According to Ochsner, vNotes is a minimally invasive procedure that offers a laparoscopic hysterectomy option. The procedure has many benefits such as no abdominal scar, a shorter hospital stay, and less pain with a faster recovery time.

Dr. Straney is one of the few Ochsner gynecologic surgeons trained to perform the procedure. She’s a Donaldsonville native who returned to the bayou after earning a medical degree from Ross University of Medicine.
