Minimally invasive surgery
Whenever appropriate, minimally invasive surgical techniques are utilized, making for better patient outcomes, faster recovery times, less length of stay and much greater patient satisfaction.
In 2011, more than 5,000 gynecologic surgery cases were performed at Inova Women's Hospital, of which 1,555 were hysterectomies. Of this number, 877 were hysterectomies performed without the presence of gynecologic malignancy or additional pelvic floor surgery. 67.5 percent of these cases were performed via minimally invasive approach. Abdominal open hysterectomies were performed just 19.7 percent of the time (often due to very large fibroids or other extenuating circumstances). Alternately, the 2010 nationwide inpatient sample showed that only 23.3 percent of hysterectomies were performed via laparoscopic approach, and more than 47 percent were performed as abdominal open procedures.
Inova Women’s Hospital is committed to leading the region, and the nation, in our commitment to performing appropriate procedures through minimally invasive technique.
