A hysterectomy is a surgical procedure that removes your uterus. Some hysterectomies, called total hysterectomies, remove your uterus and your cervix.
This type of surgery is common to treat a number of conditions affecting the female reproductive system. If you suffer fibroids, endometriosis, pelvic pain, or a related condition, removing your uterus can be an effective solution to eliminate symptoms and improve your quality of life.
A hysterectomy is generally a good option for women living with severe pelvic discomfort. It’s a permanent procedure, and you won’t be able to have children after you have a hysterectomy.

Our team takes steps to ensure your comfort before, during, and after your hysterectomy. You lie on a surgical table and receive general anesthesia so you don’t feel pain during the surgery.
When Dr. Sejour begins the procedure, he makes a few small incisions around your bellybutton. In some cases, robot-assisted hysterectomy requires only one incision. He then uses a console in the operating room to guide surgical tools.
Dr. Sejour can see the entire operating area through high-definition camera technology. He controls each movement with the precision of robotic tools.
Robot-assisted hysterectomy takes 1-3 hours to complete. Once Dr. Sejour removes your uterus, he closes the incisions with sutures.
Most women who undergo robot-assisted hysterectomy spend just one night in the hospital. Vaginal bleeding is common in the weeks following the procedure, and a full recovery may take up to six weeks.
Surgery with da Vinci gives you reliable results with minimal downtime. You can continue living life without the disruption of a major surgery.
