How is robotic hysterectomy done, and when is it recommended?

A robotic hysterectomy is a minimally invasive surgery done through a few small incisions in the abdomen. Our team uses robotic-assisted instruments and a high-definition camera to carefully detach the uterus, and in many cases the uterus can be removed through the vagina rather than through a large abdominal incision. This approach is designed to reduce postoperative pain, limit scarring, and support a smoother recovery compared with an open surgery.

Whether a hysterectomy is recommended depends on the full picture—your symptoms, what’s driving them (including adenomyosis or other uterine pathology), prior treatments, and your goals for fertility and long-term relief. Even with severe endometriosis, hysterectomy isn’t automatically required, because excision surgery can often treat endometriosis while preserving the uterus. If you’re considering this option, we can review your imaging, history, and surgical priorities with you and help you decide on the most appropriate plan.
