Uterus Extirpation Extended

Radical intervention to remove the entire body and cervix is ​​referred to as hysterectomy (e.uteri - ekstirpacya utery). If the uterus and upper part of the vagina are removed, then such removal is usually called extirpated (e. uterus - ekstirpayts), since this allows the woman after the operation to maintain normal menstrual function and more quickly restore her ability to work.

Extirpation of the uterus is carried out: - in the presence of prolapse or loss of internal genital organs; - advanced form of uterine cancer; - endometrial hyperplasia and fibroids in an advanced stage; - endometriosis in stage III-IV;

- ovarian cancer in the epididymis and vagina. The procedure is also done at the request of the woman if postoperative scars are located in the perineal area or she has a predisposition to the formation of unaesthetic strictures or fistulas.

The intervention is carried out using cesarean section or classical access. Uterine extrusion cannot be performed at an age at which endometrial hyperplasia has not been treated. The organ is also removed if the fibroids are larger than half the lumen of the uterus. And in such cases, atypical cells become visible during histological examination. This indicates the presence of a malignant neoplasm.
