- EndometriosisABDOMINAL HYSTERECTOMY is when uterus is removed through the abdomen via a surgical incision about six to eight inches long. This procedure is most commonly used when the ovaries and fallopian tubes are being removed, when the uterus is enlarged, or when disease has spread to the pelvic cavity, as in endometriosis or cancer. The main surgical incision can be made either vertically, from the navel down to the pubic bone, or horizontally, along the top of the pubic hairline.
- Pelvic PainROBOTIC ASSISTED LAPAROSCOPY HYSTERECTOMY is the surgical removal of a woman’s uterus. This surgery can be done through small incisions using a thin, lighted scope with a camera on the end (a laparoscope). This is called a laparoscopic hysterectomy. In robotic-assisted laparoscopic hysterectomy, the surgeon uses a computer to control the surgical instruments. This lets him or her get into tiny spaces more easily and have a better view of the operation. Common reasons for a hysterectomy include non-cancerous and cancerous fibroid tumor, uterine prolapse, endometriosis, long term uterine bleeding, and chronic pelvic pain.

- LaparoscopyDIAGNOSTIC LAPAROSCOPY, Laparoscopy is a procedure used to check the organs in the belly (abdomen). It can also check a woman’s pelvic organs. Laparoscopy uses a thin lighted tube that has a video camera. The tube is called a laparoscope. It is put into a tiny cut or incision in your belly. The video camera images can be seen on a computer screen. This can be used to check for ovarian cysts, fibroids, and diagnosis pelvic or fallopian tube pain. Laparoscopy may be used to take a small tissue sample for testing (a biopsy).
