Laparoscopic Hysterectomy in Chennai

Laparoscopic hysterectomy procedure makes use of laparoscope which is a thin and flexible instrument. At its front part, light and high definition camera is attached so that doctor is able to view internal structure of uterus. Three to four small incisions are made on the abdominal region through which laparoscope is inserted. Doctors then remove the uterus and clean surrounding tissues. To perform laparoscopic hysterectomy, either general anesthesia or local anesthesia is administered.

There could be several reasons why doctor recommends hysterectomy. Let us have a look at those reasons:

• Some women undergo hysterectomy from family planning point of view. If uterus is removed, a women cannot become pregnant ever. Hence, think twice before opting for hysterectomy.
• In case of uterus cancer or ovarian cancer, if the cancer has consumed half or more than half part of the organ, hysterectomy is advised. This keeps surrounding tissues safe from deadly cancerous cells.
• In case of other major uterus related disorders like treating chronic pelvic pain to eliminate benign tumors, treat pelvic inflammatory diseases etc.

Patient can either return home on the same day or on next day of surgery. There are hardly any major risks associated with laparoscopic hysterectomy. One may experience symptoms like foul smelling vaginal discharge, bleeding, lower abdominal pain for few days after the surgery. If these symptoms fail to fade away, doctor consultation is recommended.
