About
The removal of the uterus, or hysterectomy, is a major surgical procedure to treat conditions like heavy menstrual bleeding, endometriosis, uterine cancer, uterine fibroids or other problems. Augusta University Health offers many different options for this surgery, including:
- Traditional open hysterectomy, requires hospitalization, a lengthy recovery, and leaves a visible scar.
- Laparoscopic hysterectomy, surgery which require three to four incisions through which various instruments are inserted, leaving small scars at the incision sites.
- SILS™ hysterectomy, another type of laparoscopic hysterectomy that can alleviate scarring and other concerns.
- Vaginal hysterectomy, require no abdominal incision, but can only be performed on select patients.
- Robotic hysterectomy, surgical removal of the uterus, and/or other organs, using the precision of the da Vinci Surgical System.
