Hysterectomy

This surgery removes the uterus. That's the organ responsible for pregnancies and menstrual periods. Let's learn about the basic types of hysterectomy and why they're done.

This surgery takes out the upper part of your uterus. Your uterus is your womb. We leave the lower part of the uterus (called the "cervix"). This is the thick-walled tunnel that connects your uterus to your vagina. This surgery treats things like abnormal bleeding, pain and cancer.

This surgery removes your uterus (the organ responsible for pregnancies and menstrual periods) with the aid of instruments held by robotic arms. We use this surgery to treat issues like endometriosis, fibroids, prolapse and cancer.

This minimally-invasive procedure is used to remove a uterus through one small incision in the navel. A LESS hysterectomy has fewer incision sites than traditional open or laparoscopic procedures and will provide a better cosmetic outcome for the patient.

This procedure uses a camera device called a "hysteroscope" to find and treat issues in your uterus. Your uterus is the organ responsible for pregnancies and menstrual periods. Hysteroscopy can help us find the cause of abnormal bleeding or pregnancy issues. We can use it to take tissue samples. We can use it to treat or remove things like fibroids, polyps and scar tissue. And, we can use it to place or remove birth control devices.
