Overview
Laparoscopic hysterectomy is a minimally invasive procedure to remove a uterus. For this, a minor incision is made on the belly and a laparoscope is inserted through it. Women who are considering hysterectomy due to abnormal bleeding or fibroids can consider a laparoscopic hysterectomy.
However, not all cases are fit for this surgery, and only a doctor will guide you properly. This blog covers basic information on if laparoscopic hysterectomy is major surgery. Keep reading to understand the basics and are benefits of it as compared to traditional hysterectomy.
Everything You Need To Know About Laparoscopic Hysterectomy
Is laparoscopic hysterectomy major surgery?
A laparoscopic hysterectomy is a major surgical procedure since it involves removing the uterus. Consequently, it is a very invasive operation. Endometriosis, pelvic support issues, gynecological malignancy, abnormal uterine bleeding, and persistent pelvic discomfort may need a hysterectomy.
Currently, hysterectomies may be performed using one of three surgical techniques. Among them:
- Open, traditional hysterectomy: A six- to twelve-inch abdominal incision is required for this procedure.
- Vaginal Hysterectomy: The uterus is removed via the vagina in this procedure. However, the surgeon can still see all the underlying organs, including the bladder, while using this method compared to an open hysterectomy.
- Robotic-Assisted Radical Total Laparoscopic Hysterectomy: Drastically improved surgical precision may be achieved by using a state-of-the-art robotic platform.
- Laparoscopic Assisted Vaginal Hysterectomy: Laparoscopic surgery is used to finish an intra-abdominal component of the procedure, and transvaginal surgery is used to complete the remaining (vaginal incision, excision of cervical tissues).
- Total Laparoscopic Hysterectomy: Laparoscopy is used throughout the surgery, and the surgical specimen is eliminated via the vagina.
Side effects of laparoscopic hysterectomy
You might experience discomfort, bleeding, vaginal discharges, and constipation as common side effects if you had this surgery. Medicines and sanitary pads may be recommended to treat these side effects. Additional short-term side effects may be related to the kind of hysterectomy performed.
What Is the Recovery Time for a Laparoscopic Hysterectomy?
How long it takes a patient to recover after having a laparoscopy depends heavily on the patient’s general health. For this reason, most women only have to remain in the hospital for a few days after their treatment before they can go back to work or home. They’ll be able to walk the day after the treatment if everything goes well. Most patients may return to work 3 or 4 days after surgery if they’re on narcotic pain medication.
The first two weeks of recovery might be the most difficult and can last anywhere from four to six weeks. Patients may need to use pain relievers on an as-needed basis for the first two weeks.
After two weeks after rehabilitation, most patients may return to their habits. For example, people may go to the workplace and do some light walking. As with any physical activity, it is best to consult your doctor before participating in any physical activity. For most individuals, it’s safe to resume sexual activity after a 12-week break. For 8-12 weeks after the procedure, no tapping, douching, or other vaginal insertions are authorized.
Laparoscopic hysterectomy recovery tips
It’s an effective procedure to have a hysterectomy, whether it’s for benign or malignant conditions like uterine fibroids or endometriosis, or cancer. A hysterectomy might take weeks or months to recuperate, depending on your overall health and the surgical approach used by your doctor.
- Make time for physical exercise and soak up some sunlight: Recovery after a hysterectomy requires moderate activity. When you’re ready, go for a stroll. Maintaining a regular exercise routine and moving around can help strengthen your pelvic muscles and alleviate nausea and diarrhea.
- Defeat Your Pain: A hysterectomy may leave you with significant lower abdomen pain for weeks afterward. Your doctor will prescribe pain medication and follow the directions on the bottle precisely. If you wait until you’re in excruciating pain to take your medicine, you may not get the full benefit of it.
- Get plenty of rest: A hysterectomy is a grueling and exhausting treatment. The anesthesia will keep you tired and groggy in the days after surgery. After a time, you’ll be so exhausted that you won’t be able to do anything. When you have a good night’s sleep, your body can heal better.
- Start taking care of it: As part of your recovery, you’ll be instructed by the medical personnel to care for your incision correctly. It might need a procedure to expose and clean the incision, or you could be prescribed medicines to keep the infection from spreading.
- Invest in some loose, comfortable clothing: Recovery for pelvic surgery needs more time and effort. If you want to look and feel your best, you have enough loose-fitting pants and suits. Stylish, loose-fitting clothing allows you to relax, sleep, and restore some of your self-confidence after a stomach tuck.
- Eat a balanced diet of nutritious and enjoyable foods: After a hysterectomy, women may seek comfort foods to ease their pain. You can have a little chocolate if you do so in moderation. Vegetables, fruits, grains, and protein sources like chicken and beans may all be part of a balanced diet. Eat a nutritious diet to minimize weight gain, alleviate constipation, and keep your attitude upbeat.
Conclusion
When it comes to the procedure, laparoscopic hysterectomies are generally less risky, less invasive, and faster to recover from than abdominal hysterectomies. The majority of patients may resume their everyday routines sooner.
