Hystrectomy

Hystrectomy

A hysterectomy is a surgical procedure to remove the uterus (womb). It is one of the most common gynecological surgeries performed for women experiencing chronic or severe conditions affecting reproductive health. Depending on the medical need, a hysterectomy may also involve removal of the cervix, ovaries, and fallopian tubes.

Why Is a Hysterectomy Performed?

Hysterectomy may be recommended for the following conditions:
  • Uterine fibroids causing pain or heavy bleeding

  • Endometriosis not responding to other treatments

  • Adenomyosis (thickening of the uterus lining)

  • Chronic pelvic pain or abnormal uterine bleeding

  • Uterine prolapse (slipping of the uterus into the vaginal canal)

  • Gynecologic cancers (uterus, cervix, or ovaries)

  • Pre-cancerous changes in the uterus or cervix

Types of Hysterectomy

  1. Total Hysterectomy – Removes the uterus and cervix

  2. Subtotal (Partial) Hysterectomy – Removes the uterus, leaves the cervix intact

  3. Radical Hysterectomy – Removes uterus, cervix, surrounding tissue (usually for cancer)

  4. Hysterectomy with Bilateral Salpingo-Oophorectomy – Also removes ovaries and fallopian tubes

Surgical Approaches

  • Laparoscopic Hysterectomy (Minimally invasive)

  • Robotic-Assisted Hysterectomy (Precision-based, faster recovery)

  • Vaginal Hysterectomy (No abdominal cuts)

  • Abdominal Hysterectomy (Open surgery, typically for larger growths or cancer)

Benefits of Minimally Invasive & Robotic Surgery

  • Smaller incisions

  • Less pain and blood loss

  • Faster recovery time

  • Shorter hospital stay

  • Reduced risk of infection

  • Quicker return to normal activities

Recovery and Aftercare

Most patients recover within 2–6 weeks depending on the type of surgery. It is important to follow post-operative instructions, including:
  • Limiting physical activity

  • Avoiding heavy lifting

  • Attending follow-up appointments

  • Taking prescribed medications regularly

Emotional support and counseling may also help as hysterectomy ends the ability to bear children and may cause hormonal changes if ovaries are removed.
