Laparoscopic Assisted Vaginal Hysterectomy

LAVH is a minimally-invasive surgical procedure using laparoscopic techniques and instruments to remove the uterus through the vagina. Sometimes one or both fallopian tubes and ovaries are also removed. The greatest advantage of a LAVH is that the potential to convert what would have been an abdominal hysterectomy into a Vaginal Hysterectomy with a shorter hospital stay and a shorter recovery time and less post-operative pain compared to an abdominal hysterectomy.

Dr. Cooper and Dr. Kalter are skilled laparoscopists and trained in LAVH.
