What Would Be The Recovery Time For Davinci Hysterectomy?
I was wondering what the typical recovery time for a divinci hysterectomy would be? I will also be having a rectocele repair and a bladder sling at the same time. I have reoccurring fibroids and I do not no if ovaries will be removed or left. Thank you for taking the time out of your day to answer questions:-)

Hi
Dr. Purushottam welcomes you to HCM virtual clinic!
Thanks for consulting at my virtual clinic. I have carefully gone through your query, and I think I have understood your concern. I will try to address your medical concerns and would suggest you the best of the available treatment options.
As such Hysterectomy with DaVinci technique has same recovery time as that of routine laparoscopic hysterectomy, but surgical time can be a bit lesser.
It aided by robotic arms , rest of the surgery is same as laparoscopic one. Recovery time is 7 to 10 days and is fast as compared tp open surgery.
Doing bladder sling and rectocele repair at the same time will only add to some more surgical time, but as such there will not be much delay in recovery time.Bladder sling surgery per say has very quick and short recovery time, say 3 to 5 days. And rectocele repair will take a weeks time, so there won't be any delay in recovery time.
I hope my answer helps you.
Thanks.
Wish you great health.
