Robotic Hysterectomy

If you need a hysterectomy, you deserve a surgical option that minimizes pain and speeds recovery. At the Institute for Gynecology Minimally Invasive and Robotic Surgery in Englewood, New Jersey, Yitzhack Asulin, MD, FACS, FACOG, performs robotic hysterectomies using the latest surgical technology for exceptional precision and safety. This minimally invasive approach enables smaller incisions, reduced blood loss, and a faster recovery to daily life. Schedule a consultation by phone or online to learn how robotic surgery can make your hysterectomy experience smoother and more comfortable.

What is a robotic hysterectomy?

A robotic hysterectomy is a minimally invasive surgical procedure to remove the uterus using a robotic-assisted system that enhances a surgeon’s precision, flexibility, and control. During the procedure, Dr. Asulin operates through a few small incisions, guiding robotic instruments that mimic the natural movement of the human hand with remarkable accuracy and improved visualization.

This advanced method offers the same effectiveness as a traditional hysterectomy but with significantly less pain, minimal scarring, and a faster recovery. The robotic system enables delicate dissection and repair in hard-to-reach areas, thereby reducing trauma to surrounding tissues. Many women can return to normal activities within just a few weeks, experiencing less discomfort and faster healing compared to open surgery.

Why might I need a hysterectomy?

A hysterectomy may be recommended to treat various gynecologic conditions that don’t respond to medication or conservative therapies, such as:

• Uterine fibroids are causing heavy bleeding or pain
• Endometriosis or adenomyosis
• Uterine prolapse
• Chronic pelvic pain
• Abnormal uterine bleeding
• Precancerous changes or gynecologic cancers

Dr. Asulin carefully evaluates your condition and medical history to determine whether a robotic hysterectomy is the best and safest approach for you.

What are the benefits of robotic hysterectomy?

Compared with traditional open surgery, robotic hysterectomy offers several advantages, including:

• Smaller incisions and less visible scarring
• Reduced blood loss and lower infection risk
• Less postoperative pain and quicker recovery
• Shorter hospital stays (often same-day or next-day discharge)
• Faster return to normal activities and work

This approach enables greater surgical precision, particularly in complex cases or when extensive scar tissue is present.

What can I expect during recovery?

Most patients experience mild discomfort and fatigue for the first few days following surgery. Dr. Asulin provides detailed postoperative instructions and personalized care to support healing. Light activity is encouraged early on, and most women can resume full activity within four to six weeks.

Dr. Asulin and the experienced surgical team are dedicated to helping women achieve the best possible outcomes with minimal disruption to their lives. Schedule a consultation by phone or online today.
