Laparoscopic Hysterectomy in Phoenix

Did you know that an estimated 600,000 hysterectomies are performed in the United States annually?  The average time off from work for recovery from a hysterectomy is 6 weeks which works out to a total of 144 million lost work hours. Do you think you may be one of these statistics for next year? If so, have you heard about the alternative to an abdominal hysterectomy called a laparoscopic hysterectomy in Phoenix?

Simon is here to provide superior healthcare and determine whether a laparoscopic hysterectomy in Phoenix is right for you.  Typically, around 75% of hysterectomies performed in the U.S. are abdominal hysterectomies and require an incision in the abdomen through which the uterus and other reproductive organs (if necessary) will be removed.  However, women now have an alternative to abdominal hysterectomies and benefit from this minimally invasive surgery that is done on an outpatient basis. Other benefits include minimal scarring, less pain and a faster recovery time.  Most patients leave the hospital the next day and are able to return to work and normal activity within 1-2 weeks.

If you have questions about a laparoscopic hysterectomy in Phoenix, contact Simon today. We'll assess your health situation and determine if you're a candidate for a laparoscopic hysterectomy in Phoenix. We provide outstanding medical care with state-of-the-art procedures to help our patients return to normal activity within a faster turnaround. Your health, comfort level, and recovery time are just as important to us as they are to you.
