Hysterectomy

Hysterectomy Treatment Hospital in Yeshwanthpur

The uterus is surgically removed during a hysterectomy procedure. The cervix, ovaries, Fallopian tubes, and other surrounding tissues may also be removed. A gynaecologist usually does a hysterectomy and it can be complete or partial.

Why is the procedure performed?

Hysterectomies are generally recommended and suggested by medical professionals to treat health problems concerning the female reproductive system. They are not usually the first suggestion for treatment and are only considered after other less invasive treatments have ceased to work.

This procedure is usually performed to treat the following:

  • Heavy periods

  • Long-term pelvic pain

  • Non-cancerous tumours (fibroids)

  • Ovarian, uterine or cervical cancer of the fallopian tubes

Types of Hysterectomy

The following are the most common types of hysterectomy:

  • Total hysterectomy

The most common type of hysterectomy in which the womb and cervix are removed.

  • Subtotal hysterectomy

The womb's main body is removed in this procedure, leaving only the cervix.

  • Total hysterectomy with bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy

The womb, cervix, fallopian tubes, and ovaries are removed during this procedure.

  • Radical hysterectomy

The womb and surrounding tissues, including the fallopian tubes, a portion of the vagina, the ovaries, lymph glands, and fatty tissue, are removed during a radical hysterectomy.

A hysterectomy can be performed in one of three ways:

  • Laparoscopic hysterectomy (keyhole surgery) 

  • Vaginal hysterectomy

  • Abdominal hysterectomy

Procedure

  • Laparoscopic hysterectomy

Laparoscopic surgery is also known as keyhole surgery. It is the preferred method for removing organs and surrounding tissues from the reproductive system. During the procedure, a small tube with a telescope (laparoscope) and a tiny video camera will be inserted through a small cut (incision) in your tummy. The surgeon can now see inside your body. Instruments are inserted into your abdomen or vagina through additional small incisions to remove your womb, cervix, and other reproductive system components. General anaesthesia is usually used for laparoscopic hysterectomies.

  • Vaginal hysterectomy

During a vaginal hysterectomy, the womb and cervix are removed through an incision at the top of the vagina. Special surgical instruments are inserted into the vagina to separate the womb from the ligaments that hold it in place. After the womb and cervix have been removed, the incision will be sewn up. Typically, the procedure takes about an hour to complete.

There are two methods for performing a vaginal hysterectomy:

During the procedure, you will be rendered unconscious by a general anaesthetic.

A vaginal hysterectomy is usually preferred over an abdominal hysterectomy because it is less invasive and requires less hospitalisation time.

  • Abdominal hysterectomy

During an abdominal hysterectomy, an incision in your abdomen will be made (abdomen). It will be created vertically from your belly button to your bikini line or horizontally along your bikini line.  If you have large fibroids (non-cancerous growths) in your womb or if you have certain types of cancer, a vertical incision is usually used.

After your womb is removed, the incision is stitched up. The procedure lasts about an hour and is conducted under general anaesthesia. An abdominal hysterectomy may be recommended if your womb is enlarged by fibroids or pelvic tumours and cannot be removed vaginally. It may also be recommended if your ovaries need to be removed.
