Hysterectomy

Hysterectomy for non-cancerous disorders is usually recommended only when all other processes approaches have been tried without success. The hysterectomy procedure will partially determine healing period and the form of scar, if any, that remained after the surgery.To do an abdominal hysterectomy, a doctor makes a 5 to 7 inch incision, either up and down and side to side, around the belly. The surgeon then brings out the uterus through this incision. During an abdominal hysterectomy, a person will generally spend two or three days in the hospital. There is also after healing, a shown scar at the situation of the incision.

What is Hysterectomy?

A Hysterectomy is a surgery for removing the uterus. This surgery may be performed for various reasons which includes:-

  • Uterine fibroids which cause pain, bleeding and other problems. 
  • Uterine prolapse, that is a falling of the uterus from its exact position into the vaginal canal. 
  • Uterus, cervix, and ovarian cancer. 
  • Endometriosis. 
  • Abnormal vaginal bleeding. 
  • Chronic pelvic pain. 
  • Adenomyosis, and a hardened part of the uterus. 

Types of Hysterectomy

  • A supracervical and subtotal hysterectomy brings out only the upper area of the uterus and keeps the cervix in place.
  • A total hysterectomy brings out the entire uterus and cervix.
  • A radical hysterectomy removes the entire uterus, tissue on the uterus sides, the cervix, and the upper part of the vagina.

The surgeon may take out the ovaries — a process is called oophorectomy — or may leave them in location. When the tubes are taken out that process is called salpingectomy. When the whole uterus, both ovaries and both tubes are removed, the entire process is called a hysterectomy and bilateral salpingectomy-oophorectomy.
