Laparoscopic Hysterectomy

A hysterectomy (the surgical removal of the uterus) is a major life decision, often considered when chronic pelvic pain, severe bleeding, or structural issues severely impact your quality of life. Traditionally, this required a large open abdominal incision resulting in a long, painful recovery.

**Laparoscopic Hysterectomy** is a highly advanced, minimally invasive alternative. Instead of a large incision, our skilled gynecological surgeons operate through a few tiny keyhole incisions in the abdomen, using a slender camera (laparoscope) and specialized precision instruments.

At Prakash Hospital, we prioritize your comfort and safety. This minimally invasive approach ensures significantly less pain, minimal scarring, and a much faster return to your daily life compared to open surgery.

Before the Surgery: You will undergo preoperative blood tests, imaging, and a consultation with our anesthesiologist to ensure you are fully prepared for general anesthesia.

During the Procedure: The surgeon makes 3 to 4 tiny incisions (about 0.5 to 1 cm) in your abdomen. The abdomen is inflated with harmless CO2 gas to create space. The laparoscope transmits high-definition images to a monitor, allowing the surgeon to carefully detach the uterus from its ligaments and blood supply. The uterus is then typically removed through the vagina (Laparoscopically Assisted Vaginal Hysterectomy) or in small pieces through the abdominal incisions. The surgery takes 1.5 to 3 hours.

After the Surgery: The gas is released, and the tiny incisions are closed with dissolving stitches or sterile glue. You will wake up in recovery and usually stay in the hospital for just 1 to 2 days.
