Alternative Hysterectomy in Phoenix

Dr. Armity Simon has been providing an innovative alternative to a hysterectomy in Phoenix since 1992. She keeps current on medical studies and breakthroughs which enable her to perform surgical procedures with the latest techniques and state-of-the-art equipment.

A laparoscopic supracervical hysterectomy is a proven and successful alternative to a hysterectomy in Phoenix. In this procedure, the uterus is removed by using only small and slender laparoscopic tools. With these laparoscopic instruments, the uterus is carefully detached from the cervix and then, remarkably, the uterus is removed through one of the small abdominal incisions made for the surgical entry.

It's important to note that patients must continue their annual pap smear to screen for cervical cancer cells because the cervix is left in place. However, by leaving the cervix and its mucous-secreting glands intact, this alternative procedure prevents the onset of vaginal dryness which is the most common complaint from patients after other types of hysterectomies.

Contact Simon today and find out more on alternatives to a hysterectomy in Phoenix.  We will schedule an appointment, meet with you and determine the most appropriate options to meet your health needs.
