Mayo Clinic s approach

Expertise. Mayo Clinic experts are leaders in the use of the latest hysterectomy techniques. Whenever possible your surgeon will choose minimally invasive surgery, performed through an incision in the vagina or through small abdominal incisions (laparoscopic or robotic surgery). Experience. Mayo Clinic surgeons perform more than 3000 hysterectomy procedures every year, including robotic hysterectomies. Team approach. Multispecialty teams include gynecologic surgeons and other specialists as needed who can recommend the most appropriate treatment for you. Research. Mayo Clinic gynecologic surgeons are leaders in research on non-surgical management options for several conditions - including fibroids, endometriosis and heavy menstrual bleeding - that are otherwise treated with a hysterectomy. Mayo Clinic in Rochester, Minnesota, ranks among the Best Hospitals for gynecology in the U.S. News & World Report Best Hospitals rankings.
