Why Choose a Robotic Hysterectomy for Pelvic Pain?

For women struggling with chronic pelvic pain, finding a long-term solution is essential for improving daily comfort and overall well-being. When medications, hormone therapy, and other conservative treatments for pelvic pain fail, a robotic hysterectomy may provide lasting relief. This minimally invasive approach removes the uterus while reducing downtime, scarring, and postsurgical hysterectomy pain.

At Essential Women's Health Associates, board-certified OBGYN Dr. Samantha Schoenhaus offers robotic-assisted hysterectomy for women in Las Vegas and Henderson, NV seeking a precise, effective treatment for persistent pelvic pain.

What is a robotic hysterectomy vs. open hysterectomy?

A robotic hysterectomy is an advanced surgical procedure performed using robotic-assisted technology to enhance precision, control, and visualization. Through small incisions, the robotic system allows Dr. Schoenhaus to carefully remove the uterus while minimizing trauma to nearby tissues. This state-of-the-art technique can help patients experience less pain, a quicker recovery, and a lower risk of complications compared to open hysterectomy surgery. Robotic hysterectomy is often recommended for women suffering from chronic pelvic pain linked to conditions such as:

Endometriosis
Uterine fibroids
Thickened uterine walls
Pelvic adhesions

For many women, robotic hysterectomy provides an effective solution when less invasive options have failed to relieve symptoms of endometriosis and other causes of chronic pelvic pain.

What are the benefits of robotic uterus removal?

Compared to traditional open hysterectomy, robotic-assisted surgery for removing the uterus offers a number of compelling benefits, including:

Smaller incisions mean minimal scarring
Less blood loss results in a lower risk of complications
Reduced postsurgical pain improves recovery comfort
Faster return to daily activities compared to open surgery
Increased precision allows for careful removal of affected tissue

Many women prefer robotic hysterectomy because it provides a safer, more efficient alternative to traditional surgery, helping them return to their normal routines with minimal disruption.

What is recovery like after robotic hysterectomy?

One of the most significant advantages of robotic-assisted hysterectomy is the quicker recovery period. Most patients can expect their recovery after robotic hysterectomy to look something like the following:

Resume light activities within a few days
Return to work in 2 – 3 weeks
Full recovery in about 4 – 6 weeks

Dr. Schoenhaus provides a customized plan for robotic hysterectomy surgery to ensure each patient heals properly with the most comfort and fewest side effects or delays possible. This includes pain management strategies, movement guidelines, and follow-up visits to monitor progress.

Am I a candidate for robotic hysterectomy?

While each case is unique, robotic-assisted hysterectomy is generally considered an appropriate option for women who:

Have chronic pelvic pain that significantly impacts their daily lives
Have tried medications or hormone therapy without relief
Need surgical intervention for fibroids, endometriosis, or another condition
Prefer a minimally invasive procedure with faster recovery

During your initial consultation, Dr. Schoenhaus will evaluate your symptoms, medical history, and previous treatments to determine whether robotic-assisted hysterectomy is the right choice for your specific needs.
