Laparoscopic Hysterectomy (Uterus Removal Surgery)
What Is Laparoscopic Hysterectomy?
Laparoscopic hysterectomy is a minimally invasive surgery to remove the uterus, using small keyhole incisions and a laparoscope (camera). Unlike traditional open surgery, this method causes less pain, minimal scarring, and a quicker return to normal life.
At A1 Laparoscopy Hospital, we perform this advanced procedure to safely treat a variety of uterine conditions with precision and care.
Who May Need a Hysterectomy?
A hysterectomy may be recommended if you have:
- Uterine fibroids causing pain or heavy bleeding
- Adenomyosis or endometriosis unresponsive to medication
- Abnormal uterine bleeding not controlled by other treatments
- Uterine prolapse (slipping of the uterus)
- Chronic pelvic pain due to uterine issues
- Early-stage uterine or cervical cancer
Our specialists will assess your condition and explain whether a hysterectomy is the right treatment for you.
Types of Laparoscopic Hysterectomy We Offer
Depending on your medical need, we perform:
- Total Laparoscopic Hysterectomy (TLH): Uterus and cervix are removed
- Subtotal/Partial Hysterectomy: Only the uterus is removed; cervix is preserved
- Laparoscopic-Assisted Vaginal Hysterectomy (LAVH): A hybrid approach combining laparoscopy and vaginal surgery
- Radical Hysterectomy: For cancer cases; includes removal of uterus, cervix, and nearby tissues
Your surgeon will choose the safest, most effective method for your condition.
How the Procedure Works
Here’s what to expect during laparoscopic hysterectomy:
- The surgery is done under general anesthesia
- 3–4 small incisions are made in the lower abdomen
- A laparoscope and instruments are inserted to carefully detach and remove the uterus
- The uterus is removed either through the vagina or in small pieces through the incisions
- The incisions are closed with stitches or medical glue
The entire procedure typically takes 1.5 to 2.5 hours, and most patients are discharged within 1–2 days.
