- EndometriosisA hysterectomy is a surgical procedure wherein the uterus is removed. It's one of the most commonly performed surgical procedures in the United States, with upwards of 600,000 hysterectomies being performed each year. Part of the reason for the commonality of the procedure is that there are a wide range of reasons for getting a hysterectomy, including cancer, fibroids, endometriosis, uterine prolapse, or even just persistent pelvic pain. You can speak to Dr. Wong for an extensive breakdown of the pros and cons of a hysterectomy versus other potential treatments for your particular situation. If you do decide that a hysterectomy is the best course of action, Dr. Wong specializes in minimally invasive surgery techniques, including laparoscopic hysterectomies.

However, laparoscopic hysterectomy itself is actually a fairly new procedure, with the first few cases being performed in 2005.

- HysterectomyA laparoscopic hysterectomy, as opposed to the more traditional abdominal hysterectomy, is a relatively new minimally invasive hysterectomy in which a small incision is made in or around the navel and a tiny camera is inserted. The surgeon watches the image from this camera on a TV screen and performs the procedure. Two or three other tiny incisions are made in the lower abdomen. Specialized instruments are inserted and used for the removal process. The majority of patients go home the same day, and are able to go back to work or their other daily activities within 2-3 weeks.
