Expert Surgical Care for Women’s Health
Dr. Lauren Hofmann and Dr. Cheryl Silveira specialize in advanced laparoscopic hysterectomy to treat heavy menstrual bleeding, pelvic pain, fibroids, endometriosis, and other gynaecological conditions. Using a minimally invasive approach, they ensure faster recovery, less pain, and excellent surgical outcomes.
What is a Laparoscopic Hysterectomy?
A laparoscopic hysterectomy is a minimally invasive surgical procedure that removes the uterus and cervix through small incisions in the abdomen. Compared to traditional open surgery, this technique offers several advantages:
- Less post-surgical pain
- Shorter hospital stay (most patients return home within 48 hours)
- Faster recovery time
- Minimal scarring for better cosmetic results
- Lower risk of complications, including infection and adhesions
Who Can Benefit from a Hysterectomy?
A laparoscopic hysterectomy may be the right treatment option if you suffer from:
- Heavy or prolonged menstrual bleeding that affects your quality of life
- Severe pelvic pain due to conditions such as endometriosis or adenomyosis
- Uterine fibroids causing discomfort or fertility issues
- Endometriosis-related complications that haven’t responded to other treatments
- Uterine prolapse, where the uterus descends into the vaginal canal
- Certain gynaecological cancers (in consultation with an oncologist)
