Laparoscopic Hysterectomy

A laparoscopic hysterectomy is a minimally invasive surgical procedure to remove the uterus (and sometimes the cervix, ovaries, or fallopian tubes) using small incisions and a laparoscope (a thin, lighted tube with a camera). This advanced technique offers numerous benefits over traditional open surgery, including faster recovery, less pain, and minimal scarring. Dr. Kanchi Khurana, a highly skilled gynaecologist, specializes in performing laparoscopic hysterectomies with precision and care.

A laparoscopic hysterectomy may be recommended to treat various gynaecological conditions, including:

• Uterine Fibroids: Non-cancerous growths in the uterus that cause pain or heavy bleeding.
• Endometriosis: A condition where uterine tissue grows outside the uterus, causing pain and infertility.
• Adenomyosis: Thickening of the uterine wall due to tissue growth, leading to pain and heavy periods.
• Pelvic Organ Prolapse: When the uterus slips from its normal position into the vaginal canal.
• Chronic Pelvic Pain: Persistent pain that does not respond to other treatments.
• Cancer: Uterine, cervical, or ovarian cancer may require a hysterectomy.

Compared to traditional open surgery, a laparoscopic hysterectomy offers several advantages:

• Minimally Invasive: Small incisions result in less trauma to the body.
• Faster Recovery: Most patients return to normal activities within 2-4 weeks.
• Less Pain: Reduced postoperative pain compared to open surgery.
• Minimal Scarring: Small incisions lead to barely visible scars.
• Lower Risk of Complications: Reduced risk of infection and blood loss.
