I'm scheduled for robotic total hysterectomy with pelvic lymph node dissection for uterine cancer. what;s the recovery time?

Quick : Robotic surgery allows rapid recovery. You will need to confirm the plan with your surgeon. Most likely you will stay overnight in the hospital. People usually take 2-6 weeks before returning to work
