Advanced hysterectomy
Advanced hysterectomy
Total laparoscopic hysterectomy or robotic hysterectomy, including uterus removal through tiny abdominal incisions.
When hysterectomy is the appropriate treatment, our goal is to offer the least invasive approach that meets your clinical needs. Total laparoscopic hysterectomy uses a few small abdominal incisions, while robotic surgery uses the DaVinci robot for assistance.
Both approaches typically allow shorter hospital stays and faster recovery compared to traditional open surgery. We evaluate uterine size, shape, prior surgical history, and the reason for surgery to recommend the approach best suited to your situation.

Frequently Asked Questions
Laparoscopic hysterectomy uses small abdominal incisions and a camera to guide the procedure. Robotic hysterectomy also uses small incisions but adds a robotic system, such as the DaVinci, that provides enhanced precision and visualization. Both are minimally invasive; the best approach depends on your anatomy and clinical circumstances.
Referral rules depend on your insurance. Many patients come from primary care or another specialist; call our office if you are unsure how to schedule.
