OBGYN.net proudly supports education for women on minimally invasive procedures.

In the U.S. there are over 600,000 hysterectomies performed each year, about 1,643 a day. In fact, by the age of 60, 1 in 3 women will have had a hysterectomy. You may be feeling anxious, but remember that there are 599,999 other women this year who will feel like you. In addition, you can take comfort in knowing that recent medical advances have made this common procedure much less invasive. Follow these links to OBGYN.net resources that help you get the most minimally invasive treatment option possible:
