Hysterectomy - Vaginal at Central & Northeastern PA Geisinger Wyoming Valley
A vaginal hysterectomy is when the uterus, cervix, and possibly one or both fallopian tubes are removed through an incision inside the vagina. It is often the preferred method of hysterectomy, compared to abdominal or laproscopic removal, for uterine-vaginal prolapse and early cervical or uterine cancer. This type of procedure requires only 3 days in the hospital during recovery and is the only hysterectomy procedure without any visible scarring. This form of hysterectomy is not recommended for people with large fibroids. Approximately 1/3 of American women 60 and younger have had a hysterectomy.
