Laparoscopic Assisted Vaginal  Hysterectomy in Scottsdale

Are you scheduled to have an abdominal hysterectomy within the coming months?  Have you taken the time to research all of your options including new and innovative hysterectomy alternatives such as a laparoscopic assisted vaginal hysterectomy in Scottsdale?

Drs. Armity Simon and Patricia Grade are skilled surgeons and have performed many laparoscopic assisted vaginal hysterectomies in Scottsdale. A Laparoscopically Assisted Vaginal Hysterectomy (LAVH) is a procedure which uses laparoscopic surgical techniques and instruments to remove the uterus (womb) and/or tubes and ovaries through the vagina.

One of the most significant benefits to a laparoscopic assisted vaginal hysterectomy in Scottsdale is that the surgery is minimally invasive, resulting in less pain, scarring and recovery time. An abdominal hysterectomy requires both a vaginal incision and a large incision across the abdomen. Due to both incisions, an abdominal hysterectomy produces significant post-operative discomfort and a longer recovery period than for a vaginal procedure.

The following table compares differences in average length of hospital stay and typical recovery time for the traditional hysterectomy and alternative operations that can now be performed using laparoscopic techniques.
