New Case Study Analysis on the Benefits of Vaginal Hysterectomy vs. Laparoscopic Hysterectomy featuring SRC-Accredited Master Surgeon Dr. Greg Marchand

SRC-Accredited Master Surgeon in Minimally Invasive Gynecology Dr. Greg Marchand recently co-authored a large-scale systematic review and meta-analysis, “Vaginal Hysterectomy Compared With Laparoscopic Hysterectomy in Benign Gynecological Conditions,” published in Obstetrics & Gynecology. The analysis explores the benefits of minimally invasive vaginal hysterectomy versus laparoscopic abdominal hysterectomy. Twenty-three case articles that met strict criteria were analyzed by a panel of providers, including Dr. Marchand, director of the Marchand Institute for Minimally Invasive Surgery in Mesa, Arizona.

With over 500,000 hysterectomies performed annually in the United States, it’s the most common gynecological procedure performed on non-pregnant women. The study found that while abdominal hysterectomy patients reported less pain than vaginal hysterectomy patients on the day of surgery, vaginal hysterectomies resulted in shorter operation times, faster patient recovery, less blood loss and scarring. The data supports the conclusion that minimally invasive vaginal hysterectomies overall provide better patient outcomes for patients when compared to abdominal hysterectomies.

“Minimally invasive surgery may be the best tool surgeons have ever had to help patients. Twenty years ago, getting cut open for a hysterectomy meant a week in the hospital and a huge complication rate. Today, most of my patients go home the same day and have no visible scars!” - Dr. Greg Marchand
