Laparoscopic Hysterectomy
A laparoscopic hysterectomy is a minimally invasive surgical procedure to remove the uterus.
A small incision is made in the navel through which a tiny camera is inserted. The surgeon watches the image from
this camera on a TV monitor while performing the procedure. Two to three other tiny incisions are made in the
lower abdomen. Through these, specialized instruments are inserted and used for the removal process.
In almost all cases , the uterus can be removed by laparoscopic surgery .
Common reasons when the uterus may need to be removed are -
Fibroids causing pain or excessive bleeding.
Excessive bleeding not controlled by medications
Endometriosis
Pre-cancerous and cancerous conditions of the uterus and cervix
