Hysterectomy is a surgical procedure involving the removal of the uterus to treat various gynaecological conditions, including uterine fibroids, abnormal uterine bleeding, endometriosis, adenomyosis, uterine prolapse, and certain cancers. Depending on the patient's medical condition and individual requirements, hysterectomy can be performed through laparoscopic or vaginal techniques. Laparoscopic hysterectomy is a minimally invasive procedure that uses small abdominal incisions, a camera, and specialised surgical instruments to remove the uterus. Vaginal hysterectomy involves removing the uterus through the vagina without requiring abdominal incisions.
Both approaches aim to provide effective treatment while minimising surgical discomfort and supporting recovery. The choice of technique depends on factors such as uterine size, medical history, overall health, and the underlying condition. A thorough consultation and evaluation help determine the most appropriate surgical approach, ensuring personalised care, improved comfort, and better long-term gynaecological health.
