Laparoscopic / Open Abdominal Hysterectomy
In this modern technique, small keyhole incisions are made in the abdomen through which a tiny camera and specialized instruments are inserted. The uterus is carefully removed with minimal disruption to surrounding tissues.
Benefits include:
- Minimal scarring
- Less post-operative pain
- Reduced blood loss
- Shorter hospital stay
- Faster return to daily activities
This is often the preferred option for eligible patients due to its quicker recovery and lower complication rate.
Open Abdominal Hysterectomy
This method involves a larger incision in the lower abdomen to access and remove the uterus. It may be recommended in cases where:
- The uterus is significantly enlarged
- There are extensive adhesions or endometriosis
- Cancer is suspected or confirmed
- A more thorough exploration of the pelvic cavity is needed
