Minimally Invasive Hysterectomy
Advanced surgical care designed for less pain, minimal scarring and a faster recovery
When to consider hysterectomy surgery
- Debilitating chronic pelvic pain
- Severe endometriosis or adenomyosis
- Large or symptomatic uterine fibroids
- Abnormally heavy bleeding that impacts daily life
What to expect before, during and after a minimally invasive hysterectomy
A minimally invasive hysterectomy is a modern surgical procedure performed through small incisions. This advanced approach minimizes discomfort, reduces scarring and promotes a smoother recovery compared with traditional open surgery.
Before the procedure
Dr. Tsai will review your medical history, current symptoms, imaging results and personal goals to create a tailored surgical plan. She will walk you through the treatment options for the uterus, cervix, ovaries and fallopian tubes and explain how each decision may affect your long-term health. Depending on your individual circumstances, some or all of these organs may be removed.
During the procedure
Hysterectomy surgery is performed through small incisions using advanced laparoscopic or robotic techniques.
Dr. Tsai has extensive experience in both robotics and highly complex laparoscopic cases.
After the procedure
Most patients can go home on the same day or after a brief hospital stay. While recovery is typically faster than with open surgery, it is still a gradual process that requires care and patience.
You will receive personalized postoperative guidance, including clear instructions on activity limitations, pain management and any warning signs to watch for. Dr. Tsai’s team will advise you on when it is safe to resume work, exercise and your daily routines.
