A Laparoscopic Hysterectomy sets women on an expedited path towards getting back to their lives fully active. At Womens Health Group Chicago, our skilled physicians are proficient in performing state-of-the-art laparoscopic surgeries reducing recovery time drastically opposed to traditional surgical procedures. With minimal insertion points necessary during the operation, this method reduces the risk of complications post-procedure offering swift relief.
For certain medical conditions like large uterine fibroids or endometriosis; an abdominal hysterectomy might be recommended due to better access it provides within the pelvic area during surgery. The highly trained surgeons at Womens Health Group Chicago specialize in conducting systemic & meticulous abdominal hysterectomies always prioritizing patient safety along with their well-being throughout treatment duration.
We take pride in delivering unrivaled clinical excellence across Chicagoland encompassing Thornton too; dedicatedly providing options that cater individual needs effectively – like vaginal hysterectomies carried out at our clinic performed entirely through vagina without any abdominal incisions leading to faster healing times comparatively lesser discomfort.

A hysterectomy is a surgery to remove the uterus. It is one of the most common surgeries performed on women in the United States.
A hysterectomy may be necessary to treat a variety of conditions, including:
There are three main types of hysterectomy:
A hysterectomy can be performed through the abdomen (open hysterectomy) or through the vagina (vaginal hysterectomy). Laparoscopic hysterectomy is a type of minimally invasive surgery that is also performed.
Like any surgery, hysterectomy has some risks, including:
After a hysterectomy, you will need to stay in the hospital for a few days. Most women make a full recovery within a few weeks. However, it is important to follow your doctor’s instructions carefully and to rest as much as possible.
Yes, you will still be able to have sex after a hysterectomy. However, it is important to wait until you are fully recovered from surgery before resuming sexual activity.
No, you will not be able to get pregnant after a hysterectomy. Hysterectomy is a permanent form of birth control.
If you are considering a hysterectomy, be sure to talk to your doctor about the risks and benefits of the surgery. Hysterectomy is a major surgery, but it can be a life-changing procedure for women with certain medical conditions.
