Hysterectomy, the surgical removal of the uterus, is one of the most common procedures performed in gynecology. It may be recommended for a variety of reasons, including uterine fibroids, endometriosis, abnormal bleeding, chronic pelvic pain or gynecologic cancers. While traditional open surgery has long been the standard approach, advances in technology have introduced less invasive methods, with robotic-assisted surgery emerging as a preferred option for many patients and providers.
