Hysterotomy (Hysterotomy)

Hysterotomy is a surgical operation that involves removing the fetus through an incision made in the uterus (performed through the abdominal wall) during pregnancy not exceeding 24 weeks; after this period, this operation is called a caesarean section. Currently, hysterotomy is performed extremely rarely, since effective medications have appeared (for example, mifspristone), which can stimulate a spontaneous abortion in a woman.



Hysterotomy is a surgical procedure to remove the fetus from the uterus through an incision made in the abdominal wall. This operation is performed up to 24 weeks of pregnancy. After this period, the operation is called a caesarean section.

Hysterotomy is one of the most dangerous methods of childbirth and can lead to serious complications for mother and baby, such as bleeding, infection and death. Therefore, nowadays this operation is rarely performed unless there are no other options.

However, if a woman is unable to give birth on her own, then a hysterotomy may be the only way to save the life of both mother and baby. In this case, the operation is performed under general anesthesia and takes about 15-20 minutes.

After surgery, mother and baby should be monitored for several days to ensure their well-being. If everything goes well, then the woman can return to normal life.

It is important to note that hysterotomy is not the only method of delivery. There are other methods such as vaginal birth, cesarean section, etc. The choice of delivery method depends on many factors, including the health of the mother, gestational age and other medical conditions.



Hysteroscopy is a medical procedure in which a thin tube called a hysteroscope is inserted into the uterus. It allows the doctor to examine the uterus and identify possible problems such as polyps, fibroids, cysts, or uterine abnormalities.

Hysteroscopy is used to diagnose and treat a variety of conditions of the uterus, including preparing for labor, controlling infection or bleeding, preventing and treating complications after childbirth, and more. Although hysteroscopy does not usually cause pain, it can be performed in an outpatient setting so that patients can undergo procedure without having to stay in the hospital. A hysteroscope is a piece of equipment used in gynecology and reproductive medicine that helps doctors identify and treat various diseases of the uterus. Therefore, hysteroscopy should be performed in cases where additional examination and treatment of the uterus is required when an outpatient appointment with an obstetrician is ineffective.
