Unfortunately, this latest refinment of surgical approach to hysterectomy (for the doctor) only serves to create distance from the patient and reduce the seriousness of the procedure at hand.
There are no benefits (zero) for the woman, anymore than grape-flavored poison over non-flavored poison.
The purported veiled benefits are marketing pitches, to confuse prospective patients and create demand. Less invasive (although organs are removed); minimal pain (maybe short-term, but definitely not long-term); and quick recovery (although surgery is permanently destructive).
I wonder how eager hospitals would be if the demand actually was more in line with the 2% for life-saving measures. We have turned the unfitting of women into sport, too bad for women.
