If it’s time to consider having a hysterectomy, are you
aware of the new procedure called laparoscopic supracervical hysterectomy? This
is a relatively new procedure that allows the uterus to be removed from the
abdomen by laparoscopic instruments while the surgeon is viewing the uterus,
ovaries and tubes via a small camera attached to a slender telescope. Drs. Simon
and Grade have honed their surgical skills and have developed a superior
expertise in this alternative to a hysterectomy in Arizona.
By using the alternative to a hysterectomy in Arizona, this procedure can
potentially preserve the cervix, its surrounding connective tissue, and the
pelvic support structures. As long as these components of the reproductive
system are healthy, keeping more of the structures in tact will decrease the
probability of the relaxation of the support structures after surgery.
Another benefit to
the alternative to a hysterectomy in Arizona is that the incisions are smaller
(approximately 1/2 inch) and much easier to manage than that of an abdominal
hysterectomy. As a result, the hospital stay and recovery time are significantly
shorter and the majority of patients are released from the hospital the next
day. Typically, most patients return to work and normal activity within 1-2
weeks.
