Non-Descent Vaginal Hysterectomy (NDVH)

NDVH is a surgical procedure to remove the uterus through the vagina, even when the uterus is not prolapsed (i.e., it is in its normal position). Unlike traditional hysterectomies that require abdominal incisions, NDVH is performed entirely through the vaginal canal, making it a less invasive option with numerous benefits.

NDVH may be recommended to treat a variety of gynaecological conditions, including:

• Uterine Fibroids: Non-cancerous growths that cause pain, heavy bleeding, or pressure.
• Heavy Menstrual Bleeding: Excessive bleeding that does not respond to other treatments.
• Adenomyosis: A condition where the uterine lining grows into the uterine wall, causing pain and heavy periods.
• Chronic Pelvic Pain: Persistent pain that does not improve with other treatments.
• Endometrial Hyperplasia: Thickening of the uterine lining that can lead to abnormal bleeding.
• Early-Stage Uterine or Cervical Cancer: In some cases, NDVH may be an option for cancer treatment.

Compared to traditional abdominal hysterectomy, NDVH offers several advantages:

• No Abdominal Incisions: The procedure is performed entirely through the vagina, leaving no visible scars.
• Faster Recovery: Most patients return to normal activities within 2-3 weeks.
• Less Pain: Reduced postoperative pain compared to abdominal surgery.
• Shorter Hospital Stay: Patients typically go home within 1-2 days after surgery.
• Lower Risk of Complications: Reduced risk of infection, bleeding, and other complications.
