Hysterectomy Options<\/h2>\n

Hysterectomy<\/strong><\/a> is the surgical removal of the uterus and, if needed, surrounding organs and tissues. Hysterectomy may be recommended for women with fibroid tumors who don\u2019t plan to become pregnant in the future. Each year in the U.S. alone, doctors perform approximately 600,000 hysterectomies, making it the second most common surgical procedure for women.1<\/sup><\/p>\n

Approaches to Hysterectomy<\/h2>\n

Open Hysterectomy<\/h3>\n

During an abdominal hysterectomy (open surgery<\/strong><\/a>), your uterus is removed through a large open incision. The incision must be large enough for your surgeon to see your organs and fit his\/her hands and instruments inside your body.<\/p>\n

Minimally Invasive Hysterectomy Options<\/h3>\n

Vaginal Hysterectomy<\/strong> \u2013 A vaginal hysterectomy is done through a cut in your vagina. The surgeon operates through this incision and closes it with stitches once the uterus is removed.<\/p>\n

Traditional Laparoscopy<\/strong> – With traditional laparoscopy, your surgeon operates through a few small incisions in your abdomen using long instruments and a tiny camera. The camera sends images to a monitor in the operating room to guide doctors as they operate.<\/p>\n

\u00a0– Your uterus can also be removed through a small incision in your belly button using <\/span>da Vinci Single-Site<\/em> Surgery. This technology allows for virtually scarless results. <\/span>da Vinci Single-Site<\/em> is performed for benign<\/strong><\/a> (non-cancerous) conditions.<\/span><\/p>\n

da Vinci<\/em> Multi-port Hysterectomy<\/strong> \u2013 With the da Vinci<\/em> Surgical System, your doctor operates through a few small incisions (multi-port surgery) – similar to traditional laparoscopy. The da Vinci<\/em> System features wristed instruments that bend and rotate far greater than the human wrist. The da Vinci<\/em> System also features a magnified 3D high-definition vision system that allows surgeons to see key anatomy with depth and clarity. As a result, da Vinci<\/em> enables your surgeon to operate with enhanced vision, precision, dexterity, and control.<\/p>\n

da Vinci<\/em> is a minimally invasive approach that uses the latest in surgical and robotics technologies. Your surgeon is 100% in control of the da Vinci System, which translates his or her hand movements into smaller, more precise movements of tiny instruments inside your body.<\/strong><\/p>\n

da Vinci<\/em> Hysterectomy<\/strong><\/a> is the #1 minimally invasive hysterectomy performed in the U.S.2<\/sup><\/p>\n

Types of Hysterectomy<\/h2>\n

There are many types of hysterectomy performed, depending on your diagnosis and overall health. All hysterectomies involve the removal of the uterus. What can vary is which reproductive organs and tissues may also be removed. Types of hysterectomy include:<\/p>\n
