Minnesota's Sanford Health Adds Hysterectomies as Outpatient Procedure

Sanford Health in Detroit Lakes, Minn., recently added hysterectomies as a new outpatient procedure, according to a DL-Online report.

Laparoscopic technology has allowed the procedure to move to the outpatient setting. The surgery allows women to have a one to two week recovery time versus a six-week recovery with a traditional hysterectomy. The surgery also leaves a smaller scar than the traditional procedure.

Jaimie Deraney, MD, an OB/GYN specialist, said the laparoscopic hysterectomy is reserved for patients with non-cancerous indications.
