A Second Look at Hysterectomy

The New Trend – Laparoscopic Hysterectomy

Laparoscopic hysterectomy is the new trend in hysterectomies. Actually, laparoscopy is also being used in appendectomy, gallbladder surgeries and is considered an emerging trend in urology and cardiology, among other fields.

The biggest contributor to its acceptance is the short hospital stay and faster recovery time of patients. Compared to those who had abdominal hysterectomies, patients who underwent laparoscopic surgery can resume their normal activity within a few days.

Moreover, as a patient would you prefer a big abdominal incision to a “keyhole” incision, usually in the belly-button? Would you like a slow and oftentimes painful recovery instead of a quick few days at the hospital?
