Alternative Hysterectomy in Arizona

If it's time to consider having a hysterectomy, are you aware of the new procedure called laparoscopic supracervical hysterectomy?  This is a relatively new procedure that allows the uterus to be removed from the abdomen by laparoscopic instruments while the surgeon is viewing the uterus, ovaries and tubes via a small camera attached to a slender telescope. Dr. Simon has honed her surgical skills and has developed a superior expertise in this alternative to a hysterectomy in Arizona.

By using the alternative to a hysterectomy in Arizona, this procedure can potentially preserve the cervix, its surrounding connective tissue, and the pelvic support structures. As long as these components of the reproductive system are healthy, keeping more of the structures in tact will decrease the probability of the relaxation of the support structures after surgery.

Another benefit to the alternative to a hysterectomy in Arizona is that the incisions are smaller (approximately 1/2 inch) and much easier to manage than that of an 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.
