I was just reminiscing with my new P.A. about the very first Laparoscopic Hysterectomy I ever performed in the Women’s Surgery Center.
After the surgery, my patient felt so well that she went grocery shopping with her husband on her way home. When she walked into her kitchen carrying two grocery bags, her mother-in-law, who was a nurse, said, “I thought you were getting a hysterectomy today?”
My patient answered, “I just did.”
Her M-I-L asked, “Where?”
And she answered, “At Dr. Sullivan’s office.”
The nurse looked at her sadly and said, “Honey, either you’ve been lied to or you misunderstood your doctor. There’s no way you just had a hysterectomy two hours ago and now you’re coming home after grocery shopping!” 😂
But, in fact, that was what just had happened.
In my humble opinion, our LSH technique is the best form of hysterectomy available. It is an exclusive procedure at our Women’s Surgery Center.
Years ago, I was actually sent around the country to share my technique with other surgeons to teach them this minimally invasive technique.
