How you prepare
By Mayo Clinic staffHysterectomy is an inpatient procedure — meaning you're admitted to the hospital to have it done. How long you'll be in the hospital depends on what type of hysterectomy you have and what your doctor recommends. Generally, abdominal hysterectomy requires a hospital stay of at least one or two days.
Plan for an extended recovery time once you get home. Full recovery could take several weeks. Arrange for help at home if you think you'll need it.
