Approximately 600,000 hysterectomies are performed in the United States each year, and most patients who have them leave the hospital with large incisions and post-operative pain requiring long recovery times and medication.
On June 28, 2006 at 4 p.m. Eastern Standard Time, Dr Steven D. McCarus, Chief of Gynecologic Surgery and Director for the Center of Pelvic Health, Celebration Health, will discuss the McCarus technique, a minimally invasive procedure he developed for total laparoscopic hysterectomy, moderated live on the Internet from Celebration, Florida.
Dr. McCarus uses advanced energy systems, such as the HARMONIC ACE™ shears, to facilitate, what he says, are more efficient hysterectomy procedures. "Through this live internet discussion, I hope to educate health care providers on the patient benefits of this minimally invasive approach," says Dr. McCarus.
With this minimally invasive approach, Dr. McCarus will demonstrate how to secure large vascular bundles, remove large volumes of tissue quickly, and identify the lower pelvic attachments.
Dr. McCarus believes emerging technologies and procedure advancements offer patients several benefits including decreased post-operative pain, shorter hospital stays, and a quicker return to normal activity.Approximately 600,000 hysterectomies are performed in the United States each year, and most patients who have them leave the hospital with l...all »Approximately 600,000 hysterectomies are performed in the United States each year, and most patients who have them leave the hospital with large incisions and post-operative pain requiring long recovery times and medication.
