If your doctor recommends hysterectomy, you may be a candidate for robotic-assisted hysterectomy, an effective, less invasive treatment options for a range of uterine conditions. Robotic-assisted hysterectomy is performed using only a few small incisions rather than with open surgery, which uses large incisions.
For most patients, robotic-assisted hysterectomy can offer potential benefits over traditional approaches to vaginal, laparoscopic or open abdominal hysterectomy, particularly in cases of more challenging procedures such as radical hysterectomy for gynecologic cancer.
Potential benefits may include:
- Significantly less pain
- Less blood loss
- Fewer complications
- Less scarring
- Shorter hospital stay
- Faster return to normal daily activities.

This comparison shows the incision size of open surgery and robotic-assisted hysterectomy.
As with any surgery, these benefits cannot be guaranteed, as surgery is both patient- and procedure-specific. While radical hysterectomy or abdominal hysterectomy performed using the da Vinci Surgical System are considered safe and effective, these procedures may not be appropriate for every patient. Always ask your doctor about all treatment options, as well as their risks and benefits.
