Uterus Surgery in Jaipur

What is Uterus Surgery?

Uterus surgery, commonly referred to as hysterectomy, is an invasive procedure in which the uterus is removed to treat an underlying medical condition.

Based on the severity of the underlying condition, doctors may also remove the cervix and surrounding reproductive organs, including the fallopian tube and ovaries.

Women who undergo hysterectomy stop having their periods and are no longer able to conceive. Hence, it is important to discuss the available fertility preservation options with our experts beforehand.

Who is the candidate for Uterus Surgery?

Uterus surgery is performed to treat a wide range of medical conditions involving the uterus. Our experts usually recommend it as the last resort of treatment for the following conditions:

• Uterine Fibroids
• Uterine Polyps
• Endometriosis
• Abnormal Bleeding
• Adenomyosis
• Uterine cancer
• Uterine prolapse

Before recommending the surgery, various factors are taken into consideration including the adversity of the problem, the overall health of the patient, and reproductive goals.

What are the indications of Hysterectomy Surgery?

Our experts may recommend you undergo a hysterectomy if you are suffering from chronic or severe symptoms that cannot be managed via the conservative approach.

• Severe pelvic pain and discomfort
• Malignancies related to the uterus, cervix and ovaries
• Persistent vaginal bleeds
• Severe uterine prolapse
• Large and unmanageable fibroids
• PID or pelvic inflammatory disease

Types of Uterus Surgery:

Based on the approach followed by the doctors, uterus surgery can be of the following types:

• Partial Hysterectomy: Also known as supracervical hysterectomy, the surgical intervention involves the removal of the uterus while leaving the surrounding organs and tissues intact.
• Total Hysterectomy: It is the most common type of hysterectomy procedure that involves the surgical removal of the uterus along with the cervix while leaving the ovaries intact.
• Hysterectomy with Salpingo-Oophorectomy: It involves the removal of the uterus and cervix along with one or both of the ovaries and fallopian tubes. In the case of the latter, the surgery is followed by hormone replacement therapy.

Preparation

Hysterectomy is a major surgery and it can prove to be overwhelming for some. This is the reason why our experts emphasize the importance of proper preparation.

Our experts will give you detailed information before the surgery to make sure you are ready for the procedure.

A series of pre-operative diagnostic tests may be performed for thorough assessment.

You may also need to fast for a couple of hours prior to the procedure.

Procedure

Uterus surgery is performed under the influence of anaesthesia. The steps involved in the procedure primarily depend on the type of approach.

• Abdominal Hysterectomy: This involves the removal of the uterus by making a large horizontal or vertical incision on the patient abdomen.
• Vaginal Hysterectomy: This offers the least invasive approach by allowing the doctors to remove the uterus via the vaginal opening.
• Laparoscopic Hysterectomy: The surgical intervention is performed via tiny keyhole incisions, using a small surgical camera with a light source.

Recovery

You will be closely observed in a recovery area after uterine surgery.

To manage pain, alleviate soreness and bring down the risks of infection, doctors may prescribe antibiotics and painkillers.

Your healthcare staff will provide comprehensive post-operative instructions, such as wound care and physical activity limitations and any required follow-up consultations.
