Uterus Removal Surgery

Laparoscopic hysterectomy is a minimally invasive surgical procedure that involves the removal of the uterus using a laparoscope, a small camera and light cable attached to a glass rod that is inserted through small incisions in the abdomen. During the procedure, the surgeon separates the uterus from the surrounding tissue and removes it through the vagina. The ovaries may also be removed if necessary, usually, patients aging more than 45 yrs.

Compared to traditional open surgery, laparoscopic hysterectomy offers several benefits, including smaller incisions, less pain, shorter hospital stays, and faster recovery times. However, not all patients are suitable candidates for laparoscopic hysterectomy and the procedure may carry some risks and complications, such as bleeding, infection, and injury to surrounding organs.

Laparoscopic hysterectomy can be performed using different techniques, including total laparoscopic hysterectomy (TLH), laparoscopic-assisted vaginal hysterectomy (LAVH), and laparoscopic supracervical hysterectomy (LSH). The choice of technique depends on the patient’s condition and the surgeon’s preference and expertise. Overall,
laparoscopic hysterectomy is a safe and effective option for women who require removal of the uterus due to multiple reasons like fibroids.
