Total Laparoscopic Hysterectomy Surgery

Before undergoing Total Laparoscopic Hysterectomy surgery, it is very important you know all the consequences. Once the surgery is done, you will not be able to have children and will experience early menopause.

During the surgery, doctors use a small operating telescope, called a laparoscope to view the pelvis and abdomen. This laparoscope is inserted into the abdominal wall via a small incision. You will be administered general anesthesia so that you feel any pain or discomfort.

With the help of a laparoscope, the uterus is relieved from ligaments and surrounding blood vessels. To prevent bleeding, the doctors will use dissolvable sutures and cauterization. The uterus is then removed through the vagina. To complete the surgery, necessary sutures are made on top of the vagina, layers of abdomen, and skin.
