Laparoscopic Hysterectomy in Mumbai ( Busting all Myths)

In previous times Hysterectomy could only be performed after a large cut was given on the abdomen but now a day this method of removing the uterus is considered obsolete by most gynaecologists.

In most 1st world countries, only about 30% of surgeries are performed by the open technique, as the patient takes a long time to recuperate after surgery, whereas Laparoscopic surgery offers several benefits to the patient like:

• Only 1 -2 day hospitalization.
• Can return to work in 3-4 days.
• Minimal blood loss.
• No Blood Transfusion
• Minimal or No pain

Laparoscopic surgeries are much superior to open surgery as the surgeon / Lap Gynecologist gets 20 times magnified & well-lit view (because of the Xenon light and other special equipment used in Laparoscopy) so the surgeon can perform a much finer & better quality surgery than what he/she can see at open surgery.

Myths associated with Laparoscopic Hysterectomy

(a) Today even very large uterus that were previously not operated on by Laparoscopy can also be now operated on at good Laparoscopic centres.

(b) Previous Surgery: Women who have had previous open surgeries like Caesarean sections (any number of previous surgeries) can also be operated on laparoscopically

(c) Cancer Surgery: Today at standard Laparoscopic centres even Cancer surgery (like – Cervix, uterus, etc) can easily be performed by the Laparoscopic route.

In Our country the additional Myths associated with Lap Hysterectomies are

• That it is more expensive. Again this is completely wrong as Lap surgery is not only more cost-effective but also lets the patient join back work earlier & helps the patient earning.
• Eyes/bones become weak after Hysterectomy / Hormonal disturbances occur after Hysterectomy – Nowadays as the ovaries are not usually removed at Hysterectomy (unless the patient suffers from Cancer) and since the female hormone comes from the ovaries there are no Normal disturbances and neither do the eyes or bones become weak after Hysterectomy.
• Some part of the uterus may be left behind accidentally at Laparoscopy; this is completely untrue as the magnified view of the Laparoscope does not let even 1cm of any tissue or blood being left inside (Compared to open surgery where the surgeons’ naked eyes can always make mistakes.)

Conclusion:

As women play a key role in the functioning of an Indian family they usually do not have the luxury of falling sick and need to recover fast & Lap surgery helps them in just that.

Total Laparoscopic Hysterectomy By Dr. Kausha Shah

Laparoscopic hysterectomy is a simple surgery to remove the uterus. A small entry point is made near the umbilicus and a long, slender device called a laparoscope is inserted into the abdomen after the insufflation of gas. It has a camera attached to it that allows visualization of the abdominal and pelvic organs on an electronic screen. Small 3-4 more entry points are made on the abdomen wall, Through there specialized instruments are inserted and the uterus is removed. Hysterectomy is a relatively risk-free procedure with a reasonable Hysterectomy Cost in Mumbai. Hysterectomy surgery cost in India is reasonable for patients. KK Speciality Hospital offers reasonable surgery cost.

The ovaries if found healthy are not removed along with hysterectomy so that the hormonal levels are maintained and the patient doesn’t experience premature menopause symptoms. The ovaries are removed only if they are found damaged and non-functional or if they have a personal or family history of ovarian or breast malignancy.

There is less pain after laparoscopic surgery than after open abdominal surgery. Recovery from laparoscopic surgery is faster. The small incisions heal faster and have smaller scars. The risk of blood loss and infection is also lower than with open surgery.

Here are a few hysterectomies careful methodologies:

A vaginal hysterectomy, an abdominal hysterectomy.

Vaginal Hysterectomy

A vaginal hysterectomy is performed by evacuating the uterus through the vagina as opposed to through a cut on the stomach area. To be qualified for a vaginal hysterectomy, your uterus must be a sure size and not very enormous.

Abdominal hysterectomy

In a stomach hysterectomy, the uterus is expelled through an even entry point on the lower midriff, called a “two-piece cut.” If the uterus is exceptionally enormous or if there is a scar from a previous activity, it might be important to make a vertical cut.
