What Is a Hysterectomy?
A hysterectomy is a surgical procedure in which the uterus is removed. It may be advised for conditions such as uterine fibroids, heavy menstrual bleeding, uterine prolapse, adenomyosis or certain gynaecological cancers, depending on the individual diagnosis.
Types of Hysterectomy
1. Abdominal Hysterectomy
An abdominal hysterectomy involves removing the uterus through an incision in the abdomen. It may be recommended when the uterus is enlarged, the condition is complex or an abdominal approach is considered more suitable.
The surgical plan is personalised according to the patient’s condition and clinical requirements.
2. Vaginal Hysterectomy
A vaginal hysterectomy involves removing the uterus through the vagina without a visible abdominal incision. It may be suitable for selected patients, including some women with uterine prolapse or other benign uterine conditions.
The suitability of this approach is determined after a detailed gynaecological evaluation.
