da Vinci® Hysterectomy: A Less Invasive Surgical Procedure

If your doctor recommends hysterectomy, you may be a candidate for a new, less invasive surgical procedure called da Vinci Hysterectomy. This procedure uses a state-of-the-art surgical system designed to help your surgeon perform a more precise, minimally invasive procedure.

For most women, da Vinci Hysterectomy offers numerous potential benefits over traditional surgical approaches, including:

Shorter hospital stay

Less pain

Faster recovery

Quicker return to normal activities

Less risk of wound infection

Less blood loss

Less scarring

As with any surgery, these benefits cannot be guaranteed, as surgery is patient- and procedure-specific. For more on the daVinci Surgical System, Click Here.
