Laparoscopic hysterectomy is a minimally invasive surgical procedure that involves removing the uterus through small incisions in the abdomen. This technique uses a laparoscope, a thin, flexible tube with a camera and surgical instruments, to perform the procedure. Compared to traditional open surgery, laparoscopic hysterectomy offers several advantages, including less pain, shorter hospital stay, and faster recovery time. It also carries a lower risk of complications, such as infection and blood loss. Laparoscopic hysterectomy can be used to treat a variety of conditions, including uterine fibroids, endometriosis, and certain types of cancer. The procedure is typically performed under general anesthesia and may take several hours to complete. After the procedure, patients may experience mild discomfort and may need to avoid heavy lifting and strenuous activity for several weeks. Overall, laparoscopic hysterectomy is a safe and effective option for women who require surgical removal of the uterus.
