Laparoscopic hysterectomy

Laparoscopic hysterectomy

• Through a small incision in your belly button, a laparoscope (a thin tube with a video camera on the end) is placed into your lower abdomen.
• Several other minor incisions are used to implant surgical tools.
• Your uterus can be removed in little sections by abdominal incisions or vaginal incisions.
• Some people leave the hospital the same day or after only one night.
• The recovery period is shorter and less painful than that of an abdominal hysterectomy.

Robotic-assisted laparoscopic hysterectomy

• The treatment is carried out by your surgeon with the assistance of a robotic machine.
• The treatment is carried out by your surgeon with the assistance of a robotic machine.
• Three to five incisions around your belly button are used to implant small, thin surgical equipment. The surgeon is in charge of the robotic arms and equipment.
• The recovery time is comparable to that of a laparoscopic hysterectomy.
