If your doctor recommends hysterectomy,
you may be a candidate for da Vinci

 

Hysterectomy, one of the most effective, least invasive treatment options for a range of uterine conditions. da Vinci Hysterectomy is performed using the da Vinci™ Surgical System, which enables surgeons to perform with unmatched precision and control – using only a few small incisions.

 

For most patients, da Vinci Hysterectomy can offer numerous potential benefits over traditional approaches to vaginal, laparoscopic or open abdominal hysterectomy, particularly when performing more challenging procedures.

 

Using the surgeon's console, the da Vinci gives your surgeon better visualization of anatomy, which is especially critical when working around delicate and confined structures like the bladder. This means that surgeons have a distinct advantage when performing a complex hysterectomy involving adhesions from prior pelvic surgery.

 

Over 95% of our hysterectomies are successfully performed using the da Vinci Surgical System, including women with prior Caesarians, endometriosis, and those with an enlarged uterus.

If you have been told that you are not a candidate for a minimally invasive approach, you should consider a second opinion with our da Vinci surgeons.

 

As with any surgery, these benefits cannot be guaranteed, as surgery is both patient- and procedure-specific. While hysterectomies performed using the da Vinci Surgical System are considered safe and effective, these procedures may not be appropriate for every individual. Always ask your doctor about all treatment options, as well as their risks and benefits.
