Total laparoscopic hysterectomy

A total laparoscopic hysterectomy is a minimally invasive surgical procedure in which the uterus is removed using laparoscopic techniques. This procedure is performed to treat various gynecological conditions, such as uterine fibroids, abnormal uterine bleeding, endometriosis, and some cases of uterine cancer. It offers several advantages over traditional open abdominal hysterectomy, including smaller incisions, faster recovery, and reduced post-operative pain.

Advantages of a total laparoscopic hysterectomy:

• Faster Recovery: Patients typically recover more quickly and return to their normal activities sooner compared to open surgery.
• Less Post-Operative Pain: Laparoscopic surgery is associated with reduced post-operative pain and discomfort.
• Reduced Scarring: The smaller incisions lead to less noticeable scarring and improved cosmetic outcomes.
• Lower Risk of Infection: Smaller incisions and reduced tissue exposure can lower the risk of infection.
• Preservation of Ovaries: In many cases, laparoscopic hysterectomy allows for the preservation of the ovaries, which is important for hormone production and overall health.
