Robotic surgery for hysterectomy

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

• Cervical, uterine and ovarian cancer

• Endometrial hyperplasia

• Endometriosis

• Fibroid tumors

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

A team of experienced robotic surgeons

If you and your doctor decide you need a hysterectomy, you will be glad to know that Sharp HealthCare has more affiliated physicians performing robotic-assisted hysterectomies than any other hospital in San Diego.

Sharp is also the first system on the West Coast to be recognized as a Network of Excellence in Robotic Surgery, signifying our ability to consistently deliver the safest, highest-quality surgical care to our patients.

Your surgical options depend on your diagnosis and your state of health. Ask your doctor if you are a candidate for a robotic-assisted hysterectomy.
