A member asked:
Can i have an abdominal hysterectomy with epidural
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes: Abdominal hysterectomy is frequently done under regional analgesia (epidural or spinal). If you are a candidate for a laparoscopic (with or without robotic assistance) hysterectomy, you could expect a quicker and easier recovery.
