Hysterectomy Q & A
What is a hysterectomy?
A hysterectomy is the surgical removal of the uterus and possibly other reproductive structures, including the ovaries and cervix.
Institute for Gynecology Minimally Invasive and Robotic Surgery specializes in the latest minimally invasive techniques, including da Vinci® robotic surgery, to complete a hysterectomy.
Dr. Asulin is a pioneer in gynecologic robotic surgery. He has extensive experience in surgically treating several benign reproductive conditions in women and customizes a hysterectomy plan to your individual needs.
Follow-up appointments are available to monitor your recovery and healing after a hysterectomy.
Why would I need a hysterectomy?
You might be a candidate for hysterectomy surgery if you have a reproductive health issue that’s not treatable with medications or other nonsurgical strategies.
Institute for Gynecology Minimally Invasive and Robotic Surgery offers several types of hysterectomies to address noncancerous conditions like:
- Uterine fibroids
- Endometriosis
- Chronic pelvic pain
- Abnormal uterine bleeding
- Pelvic floor prolapse
Because you won’t be able to get pregnant after a hysterectomy, you must be done having children before Dr. Asulin conditions you for surgery. He also discusses which type of procedure you need based on the condition you’re treating and your health.
What happens during a hysterectomy?
Dr. Asulin can perform a hysterectomy using an open surgery technique, which requires large incisions in the abdomen. He also offers laparoscopic hysterectomy that is less invasive than open surgery. During a laparoscopic procedure, Dr. Asulin removes the uterus and other organs through the vagina or small incisions in the belly button.
da Vinci robotic surgery involves the use of computer-assisted robotic arms that Dr. Asulin controls to remove the reproductive organs. The arms hold small surgical instruments that fit through tiny incisions in the belly button.
The technology also features a high-definition 3D camera that provides a magnified view of the surgical site, so Dr. Asulin can operate with a high level of precision.
Recovery after robotic and laparoscopic surgery is typically faster than after open surgery. The minimally invasive techniques Dr. Asulin uses also lower your risk for postsurgical complications like bleeding, pain, and infection.
