Physician Insight:
Steps of Procedure
Obgyn: More than half a million times annually in the US, cancer and other serious conditions warrant hysterectomy-- the removal of a woman's uterus. Usually the procedure is performed via an abdominal incision that requires a 3- to 5-day hospital stay and a 6- to 8-week recovery period. Now, in a handful of hospitals around the country, new robotic technology allows physicians to perform this procedure through small incisions that require a recovery time of only one night in the hospital and a significantly shorter recovery period at home. Watch as Hartford Hospital surgeon Dr. Amy Brown performs this revolutionary new procedure live on the Internet.
