A hysterectomy is a surgical procedure to remove the uterus, often recommended for conditions like fibroids, endometriosis, or chronic pelvic pain. At Dr. Tembisa Tini’s practice, we offer safe, personalized, and minimally invasive hysterectomy options to help you regain comfort and improve your quality of life.
A hysterectomy is a surgical procedure to remove the uterus, often performed to treat gynecological conditions that no longer respond to other treatments. Depending on the type of hysterectomy, the cervix, ovaries, or fallopian tubes may also be removed.
