How can we help?
Endometriosis – This is a condition in which the tissue that normally lines the uterus grows outside of it, causing pain and other symptoms. Fibroids – These are noncancerous growths in the uterus that can cause heavy bleeding and pain. Ovarian cysts – These are fluid-filled sacs that develop on the ovaries and can cause pain and other symptoms. Abnormal uterine bleeding – This is a condition in which a woman experiences heavy or irregular periods. Pelvic organ prolapse – This is a condition in which the pelvic organs, such as the uterus, bladder, or rectum, protrude into the vagina. – This is a condition where the cervix is unable to hold the pregnancy resulting in fetal loss or very premature delivery. A laparoscopic cerclage placement is a very effective treatment option for this condition.

A native of Iceland, he established a private practice at the Reykjavík Center for Specialized Surgery in 2021 that is focused on offering advanced surgical options for benign gynecologic conditions. Among the procedures offered are laparoscopic hysterectomy, laparoscopic myomectomy, laparoscopic excision of endometriosis, laparoscopic cerclage for cervical incompetence and neuropelveology procedures. He also continues to practice part time at the Brigham and Women’s Hospital in Boston. Dr. Einarsson is specialized in complex gynecologic surgery and is almost always able to offer patients a minimally invasive option when patients were told their procedure could only be done through a large incision (laparotomy).
