Laparoscopic Hysterectomy

Laparoscopic Hysterectomy in Rohini, Delhi

Advanced Keyhole Surgery for Safe & Faster Recovery

Laparoscopic Hysterectomy is a modern minimally invasive surgical procedure used to remove the uterus through small incisions using a high-definition camera and specialized surgical instruments. Compared to traditional open surgery, laparoscopic hysterectomy offers significantly less pain, minimal scarring, shorter hospital stay, and faster recovery. It is widely recommended for women with conditions such as uterine fibroids, abnormal uterine bleeding, adenomyosis, endometriosis, and certain early-stage gynecological cancers when conservative treatment is no longer effective.

At Dr. Pulkit Gynae Care, we provide personalized treatment with advanced laparoscopic techniques to ensure safe surgery and comfortable recovery for every patient.

What is Laparoscopic Hysterectomy?

A laparoscopic hysterectomy, commonly known as keyhole uterus removal surgery, is performed under general anesthesia using a laparoscope (a thin telescope with a camera). The surgeon makes a few tiny incisions in the abdomen to insert surgical instruments and safely remove the uterus. Depending on the patient’s condition, the cervix, ovaries, or fallopian tubes may also be removed if medically necessary.

Who May Need Laparoscopic Hysterectomy?

Your gynecologist may recommend laparoscopic hysterectomy if you have:

• Large or symptomatic uterine fibroids
• Heavy menstrual bleeding not responding to medication
• Adenomyosis
• Severe endometriosis
• Chronic pelvic pain
• Uterine prolapse (selected cases)
• Precancerous conditions of the uterus or cervix
• Early-stage uterine cancer (selected patients)

The decision is always made after detailed clinical evaluation and appropriate investigations.

Conditions Treated

Uterine Fibroids
Non-cancerous growths causing heavy bleeding, pelvic pain, or pressure symptoms.

Adenomyosis
A condition where the uterine lining grows into the muscle wall, causing severe pain and heavy periods.

Endometriosis
Growth of endometrial tissue outside the uterus leading to chronic pelvic pain and infertility.

Abnormal Uterine Bleeding
Persistent heavy or irregular bleeding that does not improve with medications.

Chronic Pelvic Pain
Long-standing pelvic pain caused by uterine diseases affecting quality of life.

Benefits of Laparoscopic Hysterectomy

Compared to conventional open surgery, laparoscopic hysterectomy offers several advantages:

• Smaller incisions
• Minimal blood loss
• Less postoperative pain
• Faster recovery
• Reduced risk of infection
• Shorter hospital stay
• Better cosmetic results with tiny scars
• Early return to routine activities

These advantages make laparoscopic hysterectomy the preferred surgical approach for many women when appropriate.

Types of Laparoscopic Hysterectomy

Depending on your medical condition, surgery may include:

• Total Laparoscopic Hysterectomy (TLH)
• Laparoscopic Assisted Vaginal Hysterectomy (LAVH)
• Laparoscopic Supracervical Hysterectomy
• Laparoscopic Hysterectomy with Removal of Ovaries and Fallopian Tubes (if indicated)

Your surgeon will recommend the most suitable option based on your diagnosis.

How is the Procedure Performed?

The surgery generally involves the following steps:

1. Administration of general anesthesia.
2. Small keyhole incisions are made in the abdomen.
3. A laparoscope provides a magnified view of the pelvic organs.
4. Specialized instruments are used to carefully separate the uterus.
5. The uterus is removed through the vagina or in small sections.
6. Tiny incisions are closed with absorbable sutures.

The procedure usually takes 1–3 hours, depending on the complexity of the condition.

Recovery After Surgery

Most patients experience quicker recovery compared to open surgery.

Typical recovery includes:

• Walking within a few hours after surgery
• Hospital discharge within 24–48 hours in many cases
• Light daily activities within 1–2 weeks
• Complete recovery in approximately 2–4 weeks for many laparoscopic procedures, though individual recovery varies and your surgeon’s advice should always be followed.
