Our women's services provides the very best in nationally recognized procedures, technology and care teams, ensuring the personalized, exceptional experience you've come to expect from Sharp.
Some of the most common reasons why your doctor might recommend a hysterectomy include:
Blockage of the bladder or intestines
Endometrial hyperplasia
Types of hysterectomy surgeries we offer
There are several ways to perform a hysterectomy, including:
Laparoscopic hysterectomies
Robotic-assisted hysterectomies
Traditional "open" hysterectomies
Vaginal hysterectomies
Minimally invasive surgery means better health for you
Robotic-assisted surgery is minimally invasive. This means that instead of a traditional "open" surgery, there are several small incisions made in the abdomen. This is beneficial because the small incisions allow for a much shorter recovery time. With robotic-assisted surgery, you can also benefit from the following:
Fewer complications
Less blood loss
Less pain
Less risk of infection
Less scarring
