Hysterectomy
What is Hysterectomy ?
A hysterectomy is a surgical procedure to remove the uterus. It may be recommended when other treatments haven’t successfully managed chronic or severe gynecological conditions. With minimally invasive hysterectomy techniques including both laparoscopic and robotic-assisted surgery ensures a safer, smoother recovery with less pain and faster healing.
Who Is It Recommended For?
Minimally invasive hysterectomy may be advised for women dealing with:
- Uterine fibroids (non-cancerous growths causing pain or bleeding)
- Endometriosis (painful uterine tissue growth outside the uterus)
- Chronic pelvic pain
- Uterine or cervical cancer
- Heavy, irregular, or prolonged menstrual bleeding
- Uterine prolapse (descent of the uterus into the vaginal canal)
- Certain pregnancy-related complications
Key Features of Minimally Invasive Hysterectomy
We use laparoscopic and robotic-assisted techniques, performed through small incisions, offering several benefits compared to traditional open surgery.
- Small Incisions
- Minimal Scarring
- Less Blood Loss
- Lower Risk of Infection
- Shorter Hospital Stay (24–48 hours)
- Faster Return to Normal Activities
- Less Postoperative Pain and Discomfort
Robotic-assisted hysterectomy provides even greater precision and control, making it ideal for complex cases or patients with previous surgeries or anatomical challenges.
What to Expect After Surgery
- Early walking and movement within a day
- Discharge typically within 1–2 days
- Light activities can resume in 1 week
- Complete recovery expected within 4–6 weeks
- Postoperative care includes pain management and monitoring healing
Will I still get my periods?
No. After a hysterectomy, you will no longer have menstrual periods.
Will it affect my hormones or cause menopause?
- If ovaries are removed, you will enter surgical menopause, regardless of age.
- If ovaries are preserved, your hormone levels remain normal and you won’t experience menopause symptoms.
Will I gain weight after surgery?
A slight weight gain is possible due to reduced activity or hormonal changes (if ovaries are removed). Staying active and eating balanced meals can help maintain a healthy weight.
