Explantation of the Uterus

Uterus explantation: what is it and why is it needed?

Uterine explantation is an operation in which the uterus is removed from a woman's body. This procedure can be performed for various medical conditions such as uterine tumors, bleeding, endometriosis, uterine fibroids and other diseases.

Historically, uterine explantation is also known as porta surgery or uterine exteriorization. These terms come from the Latin word explanto, which means to pull out of the soil. In the past, uterine explantation was a very dangerous procedure and was only performed in extreme cases.

Today, uterine explantation is a relatively safe operation that can be performed either open or laparoscopic surgery. After surgery, a woman may remain infertile, so it is important to carefully discuss all possible risks and indications with a doctor before deciding to undergo surgery.

There are several types of uterine explantation, including complete removal of the uterus (hysterectomy), partial removal of the uterus (myeectomy), and removal of only the upper part of the uterus (upper explantation). The choice of method depends on the medical indications and individual characteristics of the patient.

In addition, uterine explantation can affect a woman's hormonal balance and cause changes in her body. Some women may experience urinary problems, pelvic pain, and other complications after surgery. Therefore, it is important to discuss all possible risks and side effects with your doctor before undergoing uterine explantation.

Overall, uterine explantation is a serious operation that can have both positive and negative consequences for a woman's health. Therefore, before deciding to undergo surgery, it is necessary to carefully discuss all possible risks and indications with your doctor.
