Total Vaginal Hysterectomy in Arizona

Do you know the difference between an open surgery and a minimally invasive procedure (MIP) for a hysterectomy?

With an open surgery, the surgeon creates a large incision in order to gain access inside the body, view the patient's internal organs and have more room to work. Typically, this type of surgical procedure is called an "open procedure."  Total abdominal hysterectomy (TAH) open procedure is the most commonly performed hysterectomy and the most invasive.

The total vaginal hysterectomy in Arizona requires an incision near the top of the vagina. Through this small incision, the uterus is cut and then removed through the vagina. With a vaginal hysterectomy, there is reduced scarring because of the smaller incisions, less blood loss and the reduced risk of infection, minimized trauma to the muscles and surrounding tissues, and a shorter hospital and recovery time.

The following table compares differences in average length of hospital stay and typical recovery time for the traditional hysterectomy and a total vaginal hysterectomy in Arizona.
