WHASN West Valley provides robotic-assisted hysterectomy for patients in the Las Vegas and Summerlin areas.
Because this procedure is minimally invasive, it provides added benefit to the patient over traditional hysterectomy in that it’s associated with fewer risks and accompanied by a faster patient recovery.
Cosmetic hysterectomies are also possible.

Hysterectomy is a surgical procedure performed to remove the uterus. There are a few different types of hysterectomy based on the structures removed:
During a single-site umbilical hysterectomy, the DR removes the uterus and other structures through a small incision in the umbilicus or belly button.
This allows for an approach that is cosmetically pleasing, and these procedures are done outpatient so patients don’t require hospitalization.
We provide this innovative procedure using state-of-the-art equipment at his practice. Surgeons have traveled from all over America to learn this technique from WHASN West Valley
The most significant benefit of hysterectomy is alleviation of the condition, signs, or symptoms that were plaguing the patient. Following a hysterectomy, menstruation ceases.
Risks associated with hysterectomy include fever, infection, bleeding, injury to nearby organs, blood clots, and problems related to anesthesia.
Women who have other medical conditions, such as heart disease or diabetes, are at increased risk of complications from surgery.
Single-site umbilical hysterectomies are associated with a better cosmetic result but do increase the risk of an umbilical hernia.
A myriad of conditions can be managed or treated by removal of the uterus and sometimes supporting structures, including:
