Hysterectomy is the procedure that removes the uterus, ovaries, fallopian tubes, and cervix. There are many ways to conduct this procedure, Laparoscopy is one of them. Laparoscopic hysterectomy is a minimally invasive surgical procedure to remove the uterus. It is a safe & effective process. A tiny camera is inserted through the belly button which allows doctors to see a patient’s internal organs. This procedure takes place under anesthesia. In Some cases, a woman’s uterus is removed, but not the cervix, this procedure is laparoscopic supracervical hysterectomy.

Why is it performed?

• Uterine fibroids that cause pain, bleeding, or other problems
• Abnormal vaginal bleeding
• Adenomyosis, or a thickening of the uterus
• Cancer of the uterus, cervix, or ovaries
• Uterine prolapse, which is a sliding of the uterus from its normal position into the vaginal canal
• Hysterectomy for noncancerous reasons is usually considered only after all other treatment approaches have been tried without success.

Types of Laparoscopic Hysterectomy

• Complete or Total Hysterectomy involves the removal of both the uterus and the cervix. This is the most common type of hysterectomy performed.
• Hysterectomy with Bilateral Salpingo-oophorectomy is the removal of the uterus, cervix, fallopian tubes, and ovaries.
• In Partial or Supracervical Hysterectomy, the upper portion of the uterus is removed, leaving the cervix intact.
• Radical Hysterectomy is an extensive surgical procedure in which the uterus, cervix, ovaries, fallopian tubes, upper vagina, some surrounding tissue, and lymph nodes are removed.

Benefits of Laparoscopic Hysterectomy

• Laparoscopic hysterectomy involves minimally invasive techniques. These are far better than the traditional methods
• Instead of waiting for a long time and staying at the hospital, this takes place in a short time
• There is minimum pain, little to no blood loss. And there are also minimal risk in case of laparoscopic surgery
