A total vaginal hysterectomy is a surgical procedure during which a woman’s uterus and cervix are removed through the vagina. Vaginal hysterectomies are the most minimally invasive approach available for hysterectomy since they are performed through a natural route with no external incisions. At the Pavilion for Women we believe that a vaginal approach for hysterectomy should be considered for all women, and performed when feasible.
Advantages of Vaginal Hysterectomy: Vaginal hysterectomies offer a safer, proven alternative with numerous patient benefits compared to traditional open surgery, and all types of laparoscopic hysterectomy. An open abdominal hysterectomy requires a large abdominal incision. A single-site laparoscopic hysterectomy is completed through a medium-sized incision at the navel. Laparoscopic hysterectomies typically involve three to four small incisions on the abdomen.
