Hysterectomy in Oviedo, FL

At OB/GYN Care Orlando, we understand the significance of a hysterectomy – a surgical procedure that involves the removal of the uterus. Whether you’re experiencing uterine fibroids, pelvic pain, heavy bleeding, or another chronic condition necessitating permanent treatment, our skilled team is here to provide compassionate care and support throughout your journey. Located in Oviedo, Florida, our office proudly serves the Orlando, Winter Park, Maitland, Altamonte, and Winter Springs areas, offering modern, minimally invasive surgical techniques, including advanced robotic surgery, for a successful procedure and a swift recovery.

Modern hysterectomy surgeries often utilize advanced robotic-assisted laparoscopic techniques or other minimally invasive approaches to remove the uterus. During the procedure, small incisions are made in the abdomen, through which specialized instruments or a robotic DaVinci system are inserted. These instruments allow for precise removal of the uterus through small incisions, vaginal access, or, occasionally, a larger abdominal incision, depending on individual anatomy and uterine size. The DaVinci Robotic platform provides precise 3D imaging and controls, enhancing surgical technique and ensuring optimal outcomes.

Hysterectomies are commonly performed to address various gynecological conditions, including:

• Uterine fibroids
• Excessive vaginal bleeding
• Reproductive organ cancers
• Endometriosis
• Cervical dysplasia
• Pelvic relaxation
• Chronic severe pelvic pain

Following hysterectomy surgery, a period of rest is essential due to anesthesia and the removal of reproductive organs. Patients typically start gradually reintegrating into daily activities, such as showering and short periods of standing, after 2-3 days, with a possible return to office work in 2-3 weeks. However, complete recovery, including resumption of regular activities like exercise and sexual intercourse, may take up to 6 weeks as incisions heal and the body recuperates.

In most cases, hysterectomy resolves primary complaints such as heavy bleeding, eliminating the need for additional surgeries. Exceptions may include later removal of ovaries and fallopian tubes. Hormone replacement therapy (HRT) may be recommended if both ovaries are removed to manage potential estrogen deficiency.
