Dr. Armity Simon and Dr. Patricia Grade are skilled surgeons and have performed
many hysterectomy surgical procedures in Arizona including many innovative
alternative techniques. If you need guidance about your hysterectomy surgical
procedures in Arizona, Drs. Simon and Grade and their caring team of well
trained professionals can help.
There are three basic types of hysterectomy surgical
procedures in Arizona which include: abdominal hysterectomy, vaginal
hysterectomy, and laparoscopic-assisted vaginal.
With an
abdominal hysterectomy, the surgeon will make an incision in the abdomen
through which the uterus and other reproductive organs (if necessary) will be
removed. Hysterectomies performed this way are easier for the doctor because it
allows more room for viewing. An abdominal hysterectomy also requires a longer
recovery time.
With a vaginal
hysterectomy, the incision is made near the top of the vagina. Once the
incision has been made, the surgeon can then cut and remove the uterus through
the vagina. With a vaginal hysterectomy, there will be no exterior scar like
there would be with an abdominal hysterectomy. A vaginal hysterectomy also
requires less recovery time than an abdominal surgery.
With a laparoscopic-assisted vaginal hysterectomy, the surgeon uses a
laparoscope to assist in the surgery. A laparoscope is a slender tube with a
tiny camera that is inserted through a small incision in the abdomen. The
surgeon uses small tools inserted through other small incisions to perform any
necessary cutting and tying of blood vessels, fallopian tubes, and ligaments.
The uterus is then removed through a small incision just above the vagina. A
laparoscopic-assisted vaginal hysterectomy can only be performed by very skilled
surgeons.
