Laparoscopic Hysterectomy

What is a Laparoscopic Hysterectomy?

A laparoscopic hysterectomy is a minimally invasive surgical procedure where the uterus is removed using advanced laparoscopic techniques. A small incision is made in the navel, and a tiny camera, along with precision instruments, is inserted. This procedure offers significant benefits, including minimal scarring, reduced recovery time, and a lower risk of complications compared to traditional open surgeries.

At Sahaj Hospital, we are proud to offer 3D Total Laparoscopic Hysterectomy, a state-of-the-art approach that enhances surgical precision through advanced 3D imaging technology. This innovation ensures better depth perception, reduced surgical time, and optimal patient outcomes.

Why is a Hysterectomy Needed?

A hysterectomy may be recommended to address various health conditions, including:

• Uterine Fibroids: Non-cancerous growths causing heavy bleeding, pain, or pressure.
• Endometriosis: Painful tissue growth outside the uterus.
• Pelvic Support Problems: Conditions like uterine prolapse.
• Abnormal Uterine Bleeding: Persistent or severe bleeding unresponsive to other treatments.
• Chronic Pelvic Pain: Debilitating pain affecting daily life.
• Gynecologic Cancers: Including uterine, ovarian, or cervical cancers.

Types of Hysterectomy Performed

At Sahaj Hospital, we provide personalized care tailored to your condition and treatment needs. The type of hysterectomy you may undergo includes:

1. Total Hysterectomy: Removal of the uterus and cervix.
2. Supracervical Hysterectomy: Partial removal of the uterus, leaving the cervix intact.
3. Radical Hysterectomy: Total hysterectomy along with removal of surrounding tissues, typically for cancer cases.
4. Salpingo-oophorectomy: Removal of one or both ovaries and fallopian tubes, if needed.

Benefits of Laparoscopic Hysterectomy

Compared to traditional abdominal hysterectomy, laparoscopic hysterectomy offers numerous advantages:

• Minimally Invasive: Small incisions lead to less pain and scarring.
• Faster Recovery: Patients typically resume daily activities sooner.
• Reduced Blood Loss: Advanced techniques minimize intraoperative bleeding.
• Lower Infection Rates: Minimally invasive methods reduce the risk of postoperative infections.
• Enhanced Precision: With 3D laparoscopic technology, surgeons can operate with greater accuracy, ensuring safer outcomes.

Advanced 3D Laparoscopic Technology

At Sahaj Hospital, we stay at the forefront of medical technology. Our 3D Total Laparoscopic Hysterectomy allows surgeons to visualize the surgical area in three dimensions, providing unparalleled accuracy. This leads to shorter surgeries, fewer complications, and quicker recovery times, making it a preferred choice for patients seeking the best care.

Alternatives to Hysterectomy

In certain cases, nonsurgical options may be viable. These can include:

• Medications: To manage symptoms of fibroids, endometriosis, or bleeding.
• Minimally Invasive Procedures: Such as uterine artery embolization or endometrial ablation.

Discussing these alternatives with your gynecologist can help determine the most appropriate course of action based on your health goals.
