TLH Surgery

TLH Surgery in Tardeo, Mumbai

Introduction

Hysterectomy is one of the most frequent procedures in gynecology, and in maximum cases, the laparoscopic approach may help avoid the requirement for laparotomy. 
The advantages of laparoscopic hysterectomy (LH) over stomach hysterectomy (AH) are faster recovery times, less duration of hospitalization, and fewer chances of infection. 

What Is TLH Surgery?

Total Laparoscopic Hysterectomy (TLH) surgery removes the cervix and the uterus, making half to one inch four tiny abdominal incisions through which the uterus and cervix are removed. The removal of tubes and the ovaries can vary from patient to patient and their issues. 

Hysterectomy does not necessarily require removing the ovaries, but still, if it is medically needed, ovaries and tubes can also be removed during the surgery.

Why Is TLH Surgery Performed?

•     Endometriosis
•     Abnormal vaginal bleeding     
•     Infection in ovaries or tubes
•    Overgrowth of the tissues in the lining of the uterus 
•     Pelvic pain·       
•     Fibroids

Before the Procedure

The doctors will conduct a complete physical exam, including imaging and blood tests. Always inform your doctors or health care providers what kind of medicine, drugs, and supplements you are on beforehand.

During the days leading up to the surgery:

• They may ask you to stop the intake of ibuprofen, aspirin, warfarin, and any other drugs that can make blood clotting complicated.
• Refer to the doctor for drugs or medicine you should take on the day of your surgery.

On the day of your surgery:

• You will not be allowed to drink or have food for the next 6-12 hours at least.
• You should take only the drugs prescribed by the doctors with small sips of water. The nursing agents will provide information on when to arrive at the hospital.

Total Laparoscopic Hysterectomy (TLH)

Once you arrive at the operation theatre, you will be given general anesthesia before the doctors start operating. If general anesthesia is provided to you before the surgery begins, a small tube is placed at the base of your neck so that you can breathe without any problem.

Another tube will be placed in your stomach to remove other contents, which will help to reduce the chances of injury during the surgery. The tube is removed after you wake up.

A catheter is inserted into the bladder to drain the wastewater or urine from the body and is monitored during and even after the surgery.
