Extirpation of the uterus vaginal

Hysterectomy is the surgical removal of the uterus along with the fallopian tubes and the upper third of the vagina in women of reproductive age. The operation is performed in extreme cases, in the presence of a malignant tumor or in case of uterine bleeding in case of ineffectiveness of conservative treatment[1][2]. The operation is performed by laparoscopic or laparotomy (cavity) access, with the exception of emergency laparotomy. The impact on the muscles of the anterior abdominal wall in the postoperative period is minimal.

Laparoscopic surgery is performed through small punctures (“bubbles”) in the body. The doctor makes an incision about 3 cm inside the abdomen. Through it, he inserts a laparoscope - a long thin tube with a video camera at the end, which helps the doctor see the internal organs. The surgeon then inserts instruments to remove the uterus through these punctures.

The patient is under general anesthesia, so she does not feel pain during the operation. Usually the operation is performed within 45-60 minutes. The woman then recovers at home for several days before being discharged.
