Hysterectomy – Uterus Removal Surgery in thane

In a hysterectomy, surgeons might remove all or part of the uterus and other reproductive organs, depending on the condition being treated.

What are types of hysterectomy and its significance?

• Total hysterectomy: Removal of the uterus and cervix (the lower section of the uterus that exits into the vagina).
• Subtotal hysterectomy refers to the removal of the uterus while leaving the cervix intact.
• Radical hysterectomy: surgical removal of the uterus, cervix, upper section of the vagina, and surrounding tissue, usually for cancer.
• Vaginal hysterectomy: This less invasive procedure includes just one vaginal incision. The surgeon puts surgical equipment via the vaginal incision into the uterus in order to remove it.
• Laparoscopic hysterectomy: A laparoscopy, which is also a minimally invasive technique, needs a few small (less than one centimetre) incisions in the lower abdomen. Through the incisions, the surgeon inserts a laparoscope (a thin tube equipped with a lighted camera) and surgical tools to see the pelvic organs and remove the uterus.
• Robot-assisted laparoscopic hysterectomy: The surgeon performs a laparoscopic hysterectomy using robotic technology that may help with vision and control.
• Abdominal hysterectomy: In this classic, open method, the physician performs the surgery via a single lengthy incision in the lower abdomen.

What are the benefits of hysterectomy ?

The following are some of the advantages of minimally invasive techniques versus open surgery:

• Less discomfort after the surgery
• Shorter hospital stays, with the majority of patients returning home the same day
• Recovery time is reduced.
• Reduced infection risk
