Types of Hysterectomies
There are a variety of surgical techniques for hysterectomy surgeries including minimally invasive techniques and traditional surgery. Talk to your doctor to find out if minimally invasive hysterectomy surgery is right for you.
Minimally Invasive Techniques
Total Laparoscopic Hysterectomy
Length of Stay*
Recovery/
Return to work
Requires just 3-4 small abdominal incisions. The uterine tissue is passed either through the vagina or one of the half-inch incisions, resulting in shorter hospital stays (possibly even outpatient), decreased pain, less blood loss, and lower risk of urinary leakage.
