Exteriorization of the Uterus

Known as "uterine exteriorization," this medical term describes a procedure in which the uterus is transferred from inside a woman's body to the outside. Exteriorization of the uterus is a rare and complex surgical procedure that may be used in certain medical cases.

A uterine exteriorization procedure may be required under a number of circumstances, including uterine tumors, congenital abnormalities, or other conditions that interfere with normal uterine function. In some cases where conservative treatments are ineffective or impossible, uterine exteriorization may be considered as an alternative option.

The process of exteriorizing the uterus is usually performed through surgery. The surgeon makes a small incision in the patient's abdomen, then carefully removes the uterus and secures it to the outer surface of the abdomen. The uterus can then be removed, treated, or used for other medical procedures.
