Hysterectomy (Uterine Removal Surgery)
Hysterectomy is a surgical procedure to remove the uterus. It is a definitive treatment for various gynecological conditions when other conservative treatments have not been successful or are not appropriate.
What it Includes:
- Thorough pre-operative assessment and counseling.
- Surgical removal of the uterus, which may include the cervix, fallopian tubes, and/or ovaries depending on the specific condition and patient preference. Approaches include abdominal (open), vaginal, laparoscopic, or robotic-assisted laparoscopic hysterectomy.
- Post-operative care, pain management, and recovery guidance.
Benefits
Definitive relief from symptoms caused by conditions like severe fibroids, endometriosis, adenomyosis, intractable abnormal bleeding, or uterine prolapse. Can be life-saving in cases of uterine cancer.
Ideal For
Women with severe gynecological conditions not responsive to other treatments, who have completed their family or do not wish to preserve fertility.
