One in three women in the U.S. will have a hysterectomy before she turns 60. While no woman wants to face surgery, today the vast majority of gynecologic conditions – from endometriosis to uterine fibroids, heavy menstrual bleeding to cancer – can now be treated effectively without a big incision. With da Vinci® Surgery, a hysterectomy requires only a few small incisions, so you can get back to life faster – within days rather than the usual weeks required with traditional surgery.
Today women faced with hysterectomy have more options than at any time in medical history. For the one in three American women who will undergo the surgical removal of their uterus by age 60, this is good news. If your doctor recommends hysterectomy, you may be a candidate for the minimally invasive surgical procedure called da Vinci® Hysterectomy.
