A Less Invasive Surgical Procedure
When medication and other treatments are unable to relieve symptoms, a hysterectomy is often recommended to provide a more effective, definitive and long-term solution for excessive menstrual bleeding. If you are considering or your doctor has recommended a hysterectomy, you are not alone - one in three women in the U.S. will have a hysterectomy before turning 60.
If a hysterectomy is recommended for you, you may be a candidate for an innovative, less invasive surgical procedure called da Vinci® Hysterectomy. This procedure uses a state-of-the-art surgical system designed to help your doctor perform the most precise and least invasive hysterectomy available today. In addition, using the da Vinci® Surgical System your doctor can treat a number of other gynecologic conditions including uterine fibroids, endometriosis, pelvic pain, ovarian cysts, uterine prolapse and menorrhagia or excessive bleeding.

As with any surgery, these benefits cannot be guaranteed, as surgery is patient- and procedure-specific. Consult your doctor to discuss your options and arrive at a treatment plan that's best for you.
