Is a hysterectomy
a common surgery for women?
There are an
estimated 600,000 hysterectomies
performed in the United States
every year. Although
hysterectomies are a common
surgery, it is a major operation
that involves the removal of the
uterus at a minimum. Other types
of hysterectomies require the
removal of other organs. Drs.
Simon or Grade will share as
much information as possible to
ensure you make an informed
decision on the type of
hysterectomy recommended for
your medical condition.
What is a
laparoscopic hysterectomy?
Drs. Simon and Grade are skillful
surgeons and laparoscopic hysterectomy specialists. They can determine if the
less invasive, laparoscopic hysterectomy is a viable option for you. The
average time off from work for recovery from an abdominal hysterectomy is 4-6
weeks. However, with the less invasive laparoscopic hysterectomy, most patients
return to normal activities and work within 1-2 weeks.
