A member asked:
I am going to be having an abdominal total hysterectomy due to endometriosis. what can i expect as far as hospital stay and recovery?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
2-4 days in hospital: If possible consider a second opinion. If in fact a hysterectomy is needed at this time, look to a minimally invasive procedure such as laparoscopic or robotic. The visualization is better, the ability to remove endometriosis implants improved, and with smaller, less painful scars you can often be discharge on the same day or the next day after surgery. Recovery is typically 6 weeks vs 1-2 weeks.
