Hello Uterus

Minimally invasive, less pain, and faster recovery? That sounds like the only way I’d like to have a procedure done!

Hysterectomies have been a common procedure for years, but there are a lot of misconceptions surrounding this serious procedure. They’re not for everyone, but with informed-consent and based on your personal goals, a hysterectomy is the best option.

We’re bringing you a mini hysterectomy 101 with OB/GYN Dr. Bryon Harper.

Think a hysterectomy will solve your painful periods? You might want to think again! And if you think are a perfect candidate for a hysterectomy, we have some exciting news for you: new minimally invasive technology.

Today we have the bearer of good news and all-around hysterectomy information, Dr. Byron Hapner.

Dr. Bryon Hapner is an expert in new and advanced surgical techniques and is certified as a Da Vinci robot surgeon, and is an ACOG certified, minimally invasive gynecologic surgeon. We dive into this hysterectomy 101 and cover the different types of hysterectomy procedures, and what does and doesn’t make you a good candidate for the procedure, and how you can ensure that your hysterectomy journey is going to be a good one! Dr. Hapner also gives us an inside look at groundbreaking advanced technology called VNOTES from Applied Medical. Could this be the future of minimally invasive vaginal and abdominal gynecologic procedures? We have our fingers crossed!

Lastly, we end on a fast, stylin’ high note... Hot rods require hot fits! Or at least safe ones.
