Treatment for Hysterectomy in Mumbai
Abdominal Hysterectomy, Vaginal Hysterectomy & Laparoscopic Hysterectomy
Hysterectomy is the combination of Greek words ‘Hysteria’ and ‘ektome’ which means ‘womb’ and ‘cutting out’ respectively. So as you guessed it, Hysterectomy is the procedure that is performed the remove the Uterus only if it is the last resort to solve problems like endometriosis, fibroids, painful periods, childbirth emergencies and sometimes even cancer.
But Hysterectomy is no longer this one same procedure that is performed everywhere. The removal of the uterus is done in several ways depending upon the expertise of the surgeon, medical technology available, type of health condition and several other factors.
There are three types of Hysterectomy treatment procedures available in India, they are:
1. Traditional Hysterectomy or Abdominal Hysterectomy
2. Vaginal Hysterectomy
3. Laparoscopic Hysterectomy
Abdominal Hysterectomy:
Abdominal Hysterectomy is the traditional Hysterectomy that is performed by making an incision of about 6 to 10 inches near the abdominal area to remove the uterus. Being an open surgery, traditional hysterectomy involves pain, visible surgery scars for a woman. Even the recovery time is also so long that there are hysterectomy recovery treatments available to help a woman get back to her normal routine.
Vaginal Hysterectomy:
In the case of vaginal hysterectomy, the incision is made near the top portion of the vagina to remove the uterus. It is through this incision opening, your surgeon separates the uterus from the blood supply and connecting tissue through the canal of the woman’s vagina. Vaginal hysterectomy causes no visible scar, requires a shorter recovery period, hospital stay and less pain. Vagina hysterectomy is often preferred over traditional hysterectomy procedure for the treatment of non-cancerous conditions by top hysterectomy surgeons around the world.
Laparoscopic Hysterectomy:
Laparoscopic hysterectomy is an advanced minimally invasive procedure that is performed through four tiny key-hole cuts. A tiny opening is made near the belly button and carbon dioxide gas is pumped to puff-up the area for a clearer view. A camera, light source are inserted through other openings and as the image is projected on to the TV screen the surgeon performs the removal of the uterus with specialized tiny instruments.
The traditional Hysterectomy procedure dates backs to the early 19th century and with the advent of anaesthesia and surgical tools the procedure was perfected and had become the standard procedure until the arrival of more advanced procedures like Vaginal and Laparoscopic Hysterectomies.
Hysterectomy today is the second most common gynaecological surgery performed around the world and with tiny incision, less post-operative pain, very short recovery time, the lowest risk of blood loss and complications, laparoscopic hysterectomy is the pick among other procedures.
