Laparoscopic hysterectomy is one of the most modern and minimally invasive surgical techniques for removing the uterus. Compared to traditional open surgery, it offers significant advantages for the woman, both in terms of recovery and aesthetic result.
What is Laparoscopic Hysterectomy?
This is a surgical removal of the uterus that is performed through small incisions in the abdomen, rather than the large incision required for an open hysterectomy. The surgeon uses a laparoscope — a thin tube with a camera and light — as well as specialized microtools to perform the procedure with precision.
Advantages of Laparoscopic Hysterectomy
– Smaller Sections: They minimize postoperative pain and reduce hospitalization time.
– Fewer Complications: The risk of infections and bleeding is significantly lower.
– Faster Recovery: Patients return to their daily activities much sooner.
– Better aesthetic result: Small incisions lead to minimal and almost invisible scars.
Laparoscopic Hysterectomy Procedure
- Preoperative check-up: Necessary tests are performed to ensure the patient's suitability.
- Anesthesia: The surgery is performed under general anesthesia.
- Laparoscope insertion: The surgeon creates 3–4 small incisions through which the instruments are inserted.
- Removal of the uterus: The uterus is severed from its ligaments and removed, usually through the vagina.
- Closure of incisions: The incisions are closed with absorbable sutures or surgical glue.
Who is Laparoscopic Hysterectomy suitable for?
Laparoscopic hysterectomy is suitable for women with:
- Fibroids
- Endometriosis
- Abnormal uterine bleeding
- Precancerous or cancerous lesions of the uterus
- The method offers a high degree of safety and excellent therapeutic results.
Robotic Hysterectomy: The Next Generation of Surgery
In our surgical practice, we also use robotic surgery, an even more advanced form of the laparoscopic approach. By using the robotic platform, the surgeon gains maximum control and precision in movements, further reducing the risk of complications and improving the postoperative outcome.
Conclusion
Laparoscopic hysterectomy offers a modern, safe and effective alternative to open surgery, with fewer complications, faster recovery and better cosmetic results. If you are considering this procedure, we can guide you through every stage — from diagnosis to full recovery — with cutting-edge technology and person-centered care.
