Hysterectomy in the morning
Home by lunch
Finally, the no hospital hysterectomy is here. The future of minimally invasive gynecology is happening in Cartersville, Georgia. The skilled surgeons of Cartersville OB/GYN have been safely performing same-day hysterectomies since 2006. Over 95% of our patients are safely, discharged home directly from the recovery room in one to two hours after their surgery is completed. This includes all forms of minimally invasive hysterectomies (not just supracervical or subtotal). There are very few gynecologic surgeons in the country who have the skill, a sufficiently low complication rate and low postoperative pain rate that will allow their patients to go home comfortably the same day.
There are several factors that allow us to safely discharge our patients home within a few hours of surgery. The first is the ability to perform a hysterectomy in a minimally invasive fashion. Over 60% of hysterectomies, performed in the United States, are done using a large abdominal incision. The surgeons of Cartersville OB/GYN performed over 99% of their surgeries in a minimally invasive fashion. Thus, we have a proven track record of performing minimally invasive hysterectomies on complicated conditions like large fibroids, stage III and IV endometriosis, and very large ovarian cysts.
Through the use of very meticulous surgical techniques and the skill of our surgeons, we have a very low complication rate. Also, we have incorporated and developed procedures to help insure the continuation of our low complication rate. We are constantly reviewing our technique and incorporating any new techniques that may improve our patients’ outcomes.
In addition, we pretreat each patient with anti-nausea medications and use local anesthetic injections around the uterus to decrease the need for postoperative medications. Thus, our patients generally have much less postoperative pain and require less pain medication after surgery than after usual surgeries of this type.
The above techniques do not require the use of the surgical robot. Many gynecologic surgeons tout their use of a surgical robot to help them perform moderately complicated surgeries. Our surgeons at Cartersville OB/GYN possess the skills to perform the most complex non-cancer hysterectomies without the added cost, extra time and complications associated with robotic surgery.
The doctors of Cartersville OB/GYN are co-founders of the Georgia Advanced Surgery Center for Women (GASCW). www.GA-AdvancedSurgeryCenter.com The doctors’ association with GASCW allows their patients to undergo a hysterectomy without ever entering a hospital and go home within a few hours of surgery.
