Laparoscopic Hysterectomy

A laparoscopic hysterectomy is a minimally invasive procedure to remove the uterus, often recommended for women experiencing persistent issues such as uterine fibroids, endometriosis, chronic pelvic pain, abnormal bleeding, or certain cancers. At Keshath Institute for Maternity and Surgical Sciences, our experienced surgical team offers this advanced approach to hysterectomy, prioritizing patient comfort, safety, and a faster recovery.

Why is a Laparoscopic Hysterectomy Needed?

Hysterectomy may be necessary when other treatments have not provided relief from debilitating symptoms, or when certain medical conditions pose significant health risks. Common reasons for a hysterectomy include:

• Fibroids (non-cancerous growths in the uterus causing pain or heavy bleeding)
• Endometriosis (tissue similar to the uterine lining grows outside the uterus)
• Adenomyosis (uterine lining grows into the uterine wall, causing pain)
• Chronic Pelvic Pain not responsive to other treatments
• Cancer or Precancerous Conditions of the uterus, cervix, or ovaries

Benefits of Laparoscopic Hysterectomy

Laparoscopic hysterectomy involves small incisions in the abdomen through which a laparoscope (a tiny camera) and surgical instruments are inserted. This approach offers multiple benefits compared to traditional open surgery, including:

• Reduced post-operative pain and minimal scarring
• Shorter hospital stay (often same-day discharge or a one-night stay)
• Quicker recovery time and a faster return to normal activities
• Lower risk of complications such as infection or blood loss

What to Expect After Surgery

Recovery from a laparoscopic hysterectomy is generally smooth, with most patients able to resume light activities within a few days and return to full activity within four to six weeks. Our team provides comprehensive post-operative care, including pain management, activity guidelines, and follow-up appointments to monitor your recovery and address any concerns.
