A hysterectomy is a procedure to remove all or part of a woman’s uterus. This will result in the patients inability to conceive in the future and she will no longer have any menstrual cycles. These procedures are done for various reasons including heavy and painful menstrual cycles, uterine fibroids, pelvic pain, endometriosis, and other reasons.
If a hysterectomy is recommended and desired by the patient they are done in our practices with the da Vinci robotic surgical platform. The surgical platform allows outpatient hysterectomies and the patient returns home on the same day as the procedure and is back to their normal activities sooner.
Our practice has been doing robotic-assisted hysterectomies since 2010. We also perform robotic assisted myomectomies in certain cases which allows removal of fibroids without removal of the uterus.
