Know The Risks OfAn Open Or Robotic Hysterectomy (NAPSA)—An_ estimated 500,000 hysterectomies will be performed in the United States in 2017, with many of them as higher-risk open or robotic hysterectomy procedures. These surgeries can lead to complications, resulting in addi- tional surgeries to repair delicate areas in the pelvis that can be damaged during the operation, including the bowel, blad- der, ureter or blood vessels. To minimize the risk of these complications, the laparoscopic GYN specialists at The Center for Innovative GYN Care developed the DualPortGYNhysterectomy. The Modern Laparoscopic Hysterectomy: DualportGYN “A DualPortGYN hysterectomy combines laparoscopic GYN surgery techniques aswell as protective techniquesto ensure the patient has the best outcome possible” said Paul MacKoul, MD. “We developeda safer procedure in the process.” “Hysterectomies performed with DualPortGYN take advantage ofspecialized techniques,’ said Natalya Danilyants. “Blood. loss is controlled and the pelvic cavity is clearly visible through a mappingtechnique using just 2 small incisions no larger than a papercut throughthepatient's midline. This meansthat the incisions do nothaveto go through the muscle, and patients experience less discomfort. Procedures can be performed safely in under an houron average.” DualPortGYN hysterectomies are performed on an outpatient basis. Patients return home the same day and many womenare able to see a significant improvementin the pain within thefirst 24 hours. Get The Facts: Hysterectomy Risks By Procedure Open procedures:Patientsareleft with a large incision that can take up to 8 weeks to heal. They have a higherlikelihood of pelvic adhesions formingafter the surgery dueto scarring. These proceduresare often performedby non-specialist surgeons. Open procedureshavehigherrisk of infection.
