Da vinci does excellent hysterectomies too. Only 4 little 1 inch scars on the belly.

Are you aware that vaginal hysterectomies have zero outside scars? None!

And can be accomplished entirely in less time that it takes to dock the robot, let alone start the surgery?

Maybe since mine was for cancer, they couldn't do it vaginally. I dont even remember an option being given. I was just happy not be cut open like my c-sections. But, vaginal does make the most sense, since they removed the cervix, uterus and fallopian tubes. I wonder why it wasn't done that way..I honestly never even thought about it.
