Supracervical Hysterectomy in Phoenix

Are you aware of the new and innovative procedure called supracervical hysterectomy in Phoenix that is a proven alternative to traditional hysterectomies? Drs. Armity Simon and Patricia Grade are skilled surgeons who have performed supracervical hysterectomies in Phoenix since 2000.  Drs. Simon and Grade are board-certified OB/GYNs and provide laparoscopic precision to an unmatched level of surgical expertise.

The supracervical hysterectomy in Phoenix uses a thin, telescope-like instrument with a light at the end called a laparoscope. Together with small surgical instruments that are inserted through three to four tiny incisions, the laparoscope enables the surgeon to work inside the patient’s uterus with minimal invasiveness.

This procedure preserves the cervix and leaves its connective tissue in tact. With the integrity of the pelvic support structures, there will be less likelihood of prolapse or relaxation of these structures.

Benefits to the supracervical hysterectomy in Phoenix are that the incisions are smaller (approximately 1/2 inch) and much easier to manage than that of a traditional 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.
