da Vinci Hysterectomy
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 operate with unmatched precision and control – using only a few small incisions.
da Vinci Hysterectomy offers numerous potential benefits over traditional approaches to vaginal, laparoscopic or open abdominal hysterectomy, particularly when managing more complex conditions, such as enlarged uterus or scarring due to endometriosis or prior pelvic surgeries. Potential benefits for you may include:
- Significantly less pain
- Less blood loss
- Fewer complications
- Less risk of infection
- Less scarring due to small incisions
- A shorter hospital stay
- A faster return to normal daily activities
Moreover, da Vinci provides the surgeon with a superior surgical tool for dissection and removal of tissues, as compared to traditional open or minimally invasive approaches.1 da Vinci Surgery also allows your surgeon better visualization of anatomy, which is especially critical when working around delicate and confined structures like the bladder. Greater surgical precision combined with high-definition 3D vision and a magnified view provide your surgeon a valuable advantage, particularly when managing complex conditions.
As with any surgery, these benefits cannot be guaranteed, as surgery is both patient- and procedure-specific. While radical hysterectomy or abdominal hysterectomy 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.
