Total Laparoscopic Hysterectomy

Total Laparoscopic Hysterectomy at CritiCare Asia Hospitals, Andheri East

For women balancing work and family, time is the main concern with any surgery. CritiCare Asia Hospitals is a gynaecology hospital in Mumbai that plans each stage of treatment so that appointments and tests are not drawn out. Evaluation is organised in a set order, so patients know what to expect and when. Doctors at our hospital perform total laparoscopic hysterectomy in Andheri East, Mumbai, a keyhole operation to remove the uterus and cervix through small abdominal incisions using a laparoscope.

Because the cuts are small, the hospital stay is usually shorter and the return to routine quicker than after open surgery. It suits women whose condition has not improved with medicines or other less invasive treatment.

Symptoms That Lead to a Hysterectomy Discussion

Symptoms that keep interfering with work or sleep are worth getting checked rather than managed indefinitely.

Very heavy or prolonged periods
Spotting between cycles or after menopause
Pressure or fullness low in the abdomen
Pelvic pain not relieved by medication
Tiredness caused by anaemia from blood loss
A bulge or dragging sensation in the vagina
Frequent urination from pressure on the bladder

When Is Total Laparoscopic Hysterectomy Recommended?

Fibroids are the leading cause. Others include adenomyosis, endometriosis, prolapse, and bleeding that has resisted hormonal treatment, all of which may lead to hysterectomy surgery in Andheri East, Mumbai. A few early-stage gynaecological cancers are also treated by removing the uterus.

Medicine and hormonal therapy are generally tried first. Surgery is advised once they have failed or cannot be used safely.

Conditions where it may be considered:

Fibroids causing symptoms
Adenomyosis
Endometriosis affecting the uterus
Abnormal uterine bleeding
Uterine prolapse
Chronic pelvic pain from the uterus
Early-stage endometrial or cervical cancer, in select cases

Before the Procedure

Most preparation can be completed before the admission date. The gynaecologist reviews the medical history, ongoing medicines and previous abdominal surgery, since adhesions can affect the plan. Blood tests, an ultrasound (sometimes an MRI) and an anaesthesia assessment are then arranged.

Blood thinners are paused only on medical advice. Fasting starts the night before surgery. Patients who know their dates early can arrange leave from work and home responsibilities well ahead.

During the Procedure

General anaesthesia is used. A few small incisions allow the laparoscope and fine instruments into the abdomen. The magnified view helps the surgeon separate the uterus from surrounding tissue while protecting the bladder, bowel and ureters.

The uterus is taken out through the vagina or, in selected cases, through a small incision. As there is no long abdominal cut, blood loss is generally lower than in open hysterectomy.

After the Procedure

Recovery is faster than after open surgery. Some discomfort in the first days is managed with prescribed pain relief, and walking is encouraged within a day. Light discharge or spotting can last a couple of weeks.

Strenuous activity and heavy lifting must be avoided for several weeks. The gynaecologist advises when desk work, travel and normal routines can resume, depending on progress, and a follow-up visit confirms healing.

Recovery pointers:

Gradual return to walking and light activity
No heavy lifting during early recovery
Watching for fever, abnormal discharge or heavy bleeding
Normal diet as tolerated
Follow-up visit to assess healing
