Minimally invasive surgery for hysterectomy has fewer side effects and faster recovery than open surgery. Minimally invasive surgery does not have an abdominal incision. In the case of open surgery to remove the uterus, the length of the incision is about 10 cm, whereas laparoscopy can be performed with only four small incisions of 0.5-1 cm. In many cases for hysterectomy, the abdominal incision is more traumatic than the removal of the uterine organ, so minimally invasive surgery without an abdominal incision reduces the trauma to the patient. Minimally invasive surgery is superior to open surgery in many aspects, including the chance of infection, intraoperative bleeding, postoperative gastrointestinal function, and the patient’s time out of bed. If the patient’s condition allows for minimally invasive surgery, it is better than open surgery for the patient’s recovery.
