A laparoscopic hysterectomy surgery is a minimally invasive surgery to eliminate the uterus. A small cut is made in the belly button and a small camera is inserted. The specialist watches the image from this camera on a television screen and performs the operative procedure. 2 or 3 other tiny cuts are made in the lower abdomen.
Most patients having a hysterectomy to treat abnormal uterine bleeding or fibroids can have a laparoscopic hysterectomy. It may not be possible in some cases.
There will be a pre-operative appointment preceding the day of the procedure which includes a history and physical examination, blood tests, and a visit to an anesthesia department. Patients shouldn't eat or drink anything after noon on the night before surgery.
Patients are made to sleep under general anesthesia.
Most of our patients return home that same day or the next day after their surgery.
Patients ought to expect to take ibuprofen or narcotic pain pills for a couple of days post-operatively. We encourage patients not to remain in bed. They ought to move around the house and resume normal activities as soon as they feel up to it. Some women are well enough to get back to work one week after surgery. Women who have more physically demanding work ought to remain at home for 2-3 weeks. Ladies can continue exercise and sex in a few weeks of the procedure.
A laparoscopic hysterectomy requires a couple of small cuts, compared with a traditional abdominal hysterectomy which is done through a 3-6 inch cut. As a result, there is less blood loss, less scarring, and less post-operative pain. A laparoscopic hysterectomy is usually performed by the best laparoscopic hysterectomy doctor in Mahabubnagar as an outpatient procedure while an abdominal hysterectomy normally requires a 2-3-day hospital stay. The recovery period for this laparoscopic procedure is 1-2 weeks, compared with 4-6 weeks after an abdominal hysterectomy.
The risks of blood loss and infection are lower with laparoscopic hysterectomy than with an abdominal hysterectomy.
