Laparoscopic Hysterectomy Doctor in Kolkata

What is Laparoscopic Hysterectomy?

Laparoscopic hysterectomy is a minimally-invasive surgical procedure where the surgeon removes the diseased uterus using a laparoscope, a thin, lighted instrument outfitted with a camera.

Depending on the choices of the patients and the severity of their conditions, a laparoscopic hysterectomy could be of several kinds. Some women might choose to retain their ovaries or cervix (when the organs are not affected or diseased). A supra-cervical laparoscopic hysterectomy allows you to remove the diseased part only, leaving the rest unscathed.

What Conditions Call for a Laparoscopic Hysterectomy?

Laparoscopic hysterectomy can solve a broad spectrum of gynaecological conditions with unmatched efficacy. The following conditions are best solved with the aid of a laparoscopic hysterectomy:

•  Uterine fibroids: Large or multiple uterine fibroids can cause heavy bleeding, pain, and other symptoms that can be treated with a hysterectomy.
• Endometriosis: This is a condition where tissue identical to the lining of the uterus grows and extends to the outside of the uterus, causing severe pain, distress and other symptoms. In severe cases, a hysterectomy may be necessary.
• Adenomyosis: This is a condition where the tissue that normally lines the uterus overgrows into the muscle wall of the uterus, causing pain and heavy bleeding. A hysterectomy may be recommended if other treatments fail to provide relief.
• Abnormal uterine bleeding: If a patient has heavy or prolonged menstrual bleeding that does not respond to other treatments, a hysterectomy may be recommended.
• Gynecologic cancer: If a patient has been diagnosed with uterine, ovarian, or cervical cancer, a hysterectomy may be recommended as part of their treatment.
• Prolapse: If the uterus has prolapsed, meaning it has descended into the vaginal canal, and other treatments have failed, a hysterectomy may be necessary.
