Laparoscopic Hysterectomy Surgery in Jalandhar
Hysterectomy refers to a surgery that is done to remove the uterus. The uterus is the womb where a baby grows during pregnancy. A hysterectomy may be recommended if the doctor suspects that the condition is causing excessive bleeding, fibroids, uterine prolapse, chronic pelvic pain, or some type of cancer. Recovery typically lasts 4-6 weeks, depending on the type of surgery and your health.
Types of Hysterectomy
Hysterectomy may be performed in several ways. There are several types of hysterectomy.
Depending on your health, your doctor will determine the kind of hysterectomy that you should undergo. Sometimes, the fallopian tubes and the ovaries will have to be taken out as well.
- Total Hysterectomy: This includes the removal of the uterus and cervix; the ovaries are left.
- Supracervical (Partial) Hysterectomy: Supracervical hysterectomy is a procedure where only the top of the uterus is taken off; the cervix is not removed.
- The combined surgical removal of both the uterus and the fallopian tubes and the two ovaries: The uterus, cervix, both fallopian tubes, and both the ovaries are removed. When the ovary is removed prior to menopause, menopause symptoms can start right away.
- Total abdominal hysterectomy and bilateral oophorectomy are the radical surgeries that are performed on the uterus and the fallopian tubes: This is a longer process typically used to treat cancer. It is removing the uterus, cervix, ovary, fallopian tubes, partial vagina, adjacent tissues, and sometimes the lymph nodes.
Routes & Procedure of Hysterectomy
- Abdominal – By giving an incision on the abdomen.
- Vaginal – Through the vagina – usually done when one has uterine prolapse, where the uterus is already coming out from the vagina.

Why it’s done
- Fibroids – Probably the most common reason for hysterectomy these days. If fibroids are causing trouble like – persistent bleeding, anaemia, pelvic pain or bladder pressure etc, this surgery can be recommended. A hysterectomy is the only certain, permanent solution for fibroids which are benign uterine tumours. Many women with fibroids have minimal symptoms and require no treatment (especially if they are very small). So you must seek an opinion from a good specialist to know if you need surgery or not.
- Uterine prolapse – Descent of the uterus into your vagina can happen when supporting ligaments and tissues weaken. Uterine prolapse can lead to urinary incontinence, pelvic pressure or difficulty with bowel movements. A hysterectomy may be necessary to treat these conditions.
- Gynecologic cancer – Depending on specific cancer you have and how advanced it is, surgery may be recommended.
- Endometriosis – Hysterectomy may be needed in some of these cases as most can be managed with the salvation of the uterus In endometriosis, the inner lining of the uterus (endometrium) grows outside the uterus onto ovaries, fallopian tubes, or other pelvic or abdominal organs.
- Abnormal vaginal bleeding – Heavy, irregular or prolonged periods may be an indication for this surgery.
One must bear in mind that hysterectomy ends the ability to become pregnant. If you think you might want to become pregnant, ask your doctor about alternatives to this surgery.
During hysterectomy surgery, your surgeon might also perform a related procedure that removes both of your ovaries and your fallopian tubes (bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy). You and your doctor should discuss before surgery whether you need this procedure or not. Dr Jasmeet Singh Ahluwalia is the best hysterectomy Surgeon Jalandhar
