During a robotic hysterectomy, your surgeon makes five small incisions in your abdomen to provide access for surgical tools. Through these incisions, your surgeon detaches your uterus and possibly your ovaries and fallopian tubes from surrounding tissues. Your surgeon removes the organs through one of the incisions or, more often, through the vagina.
