Hysterectomy is the surgical removal of the uterus, performed to treat conditions such as fibroids, abnormal bleeding, chronic pelvic pain, endometriosis, or gynecologic cancer. Minimally invasive laparoscopic and robotic approaches allow most patients a faster recovery with less pain than traditional open surgery.
Recommended when fibroids, adenomyosis, endometriosis, uterine prolapse, or gynecologic cancer cause persistent symptoms that do not respond to medication or less invasive treatments.
