Dr. Armity Simon and her partner Dr. Patricia Grade have been providing an
innovative alternative to a hysterectomy in Phoenix since 1992. They keep
current on medical studies and breakthroughs which enable them to perform
surgical procedures with the latest techniques and state-of-the-art equipment.
A
laparoscopic supracervical hysterectomy
is a proven and successful alternative to a hysterectomy in Phoenix. In
this procedure, the uterus is removed by using only small and slender
laparoscopic tools. With these laparoscopic instruments, the uterus is carefully
detached from the cervix and then, remarkably, the uterus is removed through one
of the small abdominal incisions made for the surgical entry.
It’s important to note that patients must continue their annual pap smear to
screen for cervical cancer cells because the cervix is left in place. However,
by leaving the cervix and its mucous-secreting glands intact, this alternative
procedure prevents the onset of vaginal dryness which is the most common
complaint from patients after other types of hysterectomies.
Contact Drs. Simon and Grade today and find out more on alternatives to a
hysterectomy in Phoenix. We will schedule an appointment, meet with you and
determine the most appropriate options to meet your health needs.
