Why is Minimally Invasive Surgery better?
Women who need gynecologic or urogynecologic surgery and have these surgeries performed in a minimally invasive approach have:
- Lower risk of complications (infection, bleeding, & potentially internal scarring)
- Less pain
- Decreased hospital stay
- Increased return to normal activities.
Hysterectomy
The AAGL (American Association of Gynecologic Laparoscopists) states in 2011 - "It is the position of the AAGL that most hysterectomies for benign disease should be performed either vaginally or laparoscopically .... Surgeons without the requisite training and skills required for the safe performance of VH or LH should enlist the aid of colleagues who do or should refer patients requiring hysterectomy to such individuals for their surgical care."

- At WHII, 98% of major surgeries were accomplished via Minimally Invasive Approach (vaginal, laparoscopically, or with robotic assist) in 2010
