A total hysterectomy is a surgical procedure that involves the removal of the uterus and cervix (the neck of the womb). This procedure is typically performed to address conditions such as cancer of the uterus, cervix, or ovaries, endometriosis, uterine fibroids, heavy or painful periods, prolapse of the uterus or cervix, chronic pelvic pain, or adenomyosis.
The surgery can be carried out through an abdominal incision (abdominal hysterectomy), via the vagina (vaginal hysterectomy), or using laparoscopic techniques (keyhole surgery). The choice of surgical method depends on the underlying reason for the surgery and the extent to which the womb and reproductive system can be preserved.
This procedure is generally done under general anesthesia and takes approximately 1-2 hours. Post-surgery, pregnancy is no longer possible, and menstruation ceases. Recovery typically spans four to six weeks, varying based on the type of surgery performed.
Total laparoscopic hysterectomy using an ultrasonic scalpel is both feasible and safe. It not only offers cosmetic benefits but also reduces the need for pain relief and shortens the time required for normal gastrointestinal function to return, compared to conventional abdominal hysterectomy.
The ultrasonic scalpel is a surgical tool that utilizes high-frequency sound waves to cut and coagulate tissue during surgery. It has several advantages over traditional surgical instruments, including reduced blood loss, less pain, minimal scarring, shorter hospital stays, faster recovery times, and fewer complications.
