Hysterectomy is the surgical removal of the uterus, indicated for fibroids, heavy bleeding, prolapse or cancer. Laparoscopic hysterectomy is the modern standard — small incisions, faster recovery, less pain.
Understanding the underlying causes helps in prevention and treatment:
Through 3–4 small abdominal incisions, the surgeon detaches and removes the uterus laparoscopically. Surgery takes 1.5–2 hours under general anaesthesia.
Smaller scars vs open surgery
Less post-operative pain
Faster return to activity
Lower infection risk
Hospital stay of 1–2 days
Hospital stay of 1–2 days. Light activity within a week. Full recovery in 4–6 weeks. Avoid heavy lifting and intercourse for 6 weeks.
