Hysterectomy
Treating conditions that affect the uterus often require a hysterectomy – the surgical removal of the uterus.
If your doctor recommends surgery, you may be a candidate for da Vinci hysterectomy, one of the most effective, least invasive treatment options for a range of uterine conditions.

A da Vinci hysterectomy requires four, dime-sized incisions, compared to a 6- to 12-inch incision needed for traditional open surgery. |
A da Vinci hysterectomy is performed using the latest robotic technology, which provides surgeons with unmatched precision and control – using only a few small incisions.
The 3D HD video system also allows your surgeon better visualization of your anatomy, which is especially critical when working around delicate and confined structures such as the bladder.
For most women, da Vinci hysterectomy offers numerous potential benefits over traditional surgical approaches, including:
-
less pain
-
recovery in days, not weeks, compared to an abdominal hysterectomy
-
quicker return to normal activities
-
less risk of wound infection
-
less blood loss
-
less scarring
