When is a hysterectomy recommended?
A hysterectomy may be recommended for various gynecologic conditions that do not respond to more conservative treatments. Some of the most common reasons to get hysterectomy surgery include:
- Uterine fibroids
- Endometriosis
- Uterine prolapse
- Abnormal vaginal bleeding
- Certain gynecologic cancers
These conditions can lead to significant discomfort and interfere with daily routines. In many cases, a hysterectomy is the most effective way to relieve symptoms and restore a woman's quality of life.
What's the difference between robotic hysterectomy vs. open hysterectomy?
Robotic hysterectomy, performed by our surgeons with the da Vinci robotic system, is a minimally invasive procedure that uses small incisions and robotic technology to remove the uterus with precision. Unlike a traditional hysterectomy, which may require a large abdominal incision, robotic hysterectomy involves:
- Smaller incisions
- Reduced pain and scarring
- Faster recovery time
- Greater precision for complex cases
With the da Vinci robotic-assisted hysterectomy method, our team at Professionals for Women's Health can perform the surgery with enhanced accuracy, which can be particularly helpful for patients who have a history of previous gynecologic surgery or irregularities in pelvic anatomy.
What are the benefits of a robotic hysterectomy compared to open surgery?
Opting for robotic hysterectomy vs. traditional surgery offers a number of potential benefits, including:
- Less blood loss
- Reduced risk of complications
- Minimal scarring
- Faster return to normal activities
Am I a candidate for robotic hysterectomy?
While robotic hysterectomy is suitable for many women, it may not be the appropriate option for everyone. Ideal candidates for robotic hysterectomy surgery are often those with benign gynecologic conditions that have not responded adequately to other therapies and treatments. However, specific health factors — such as prior surgeries or complex pelvic anatomy — can influence eligibility for robotic hysterectomy. During your initial consultation and examination, our experienced team will evaluate your individual case to determine if robotic hysterectomy may be a safe, appropriate, and effective option to address your gynecologic condition and symptoms.
