Hysterectomy (Surgical Removal of Uterus)

Hysterectomy is the surgical removal of the uterus. A total hysterectomy, includes removal of the cervix (neck of the womb). A sub-total hysterectomy is a hysterectomy where the cervix is left behind.  

There are many different ways to perform a hysterectomy – vaginal, open surgery and laparoscopic (key hole) surgery. Dr. Robertson will perform the hysterectomy via the safest, most minimally invasive way. 

When recommended as a treatment option, Dr. Robertson will explain how the procedure will be done for you and why this approach has been recommended specifically for you.
