Understanding Laparoscopic Hysterectomy
Laparoscopic hysterectomy is a minimally invasive surgical procedure that involves removing the uterus and cervix through small incisions in the abdomen. This advanced technique offers several benefits over traditional open hysterectomy, including reduced postoperative pain, shorter hospital stays, faster recovery times, and improved cosmetic outcomes.
Our Approach to Laparoscopic Hysterectomy
Dr Lauren offers comprehensive laparoscopic hysterectomy services, including:
- Evaluation and Consultation: Dr Lauren begins by conducting a thorough evaluation to assess your medical history, symptoms, and specific gynaecological condition. During your consultation, we’ll discuss the benefits, risks, and alternatives to laparoscopic hysterectomy and answer any questions you may have.
- Preoperative Planning: Prior to surgery, our team will work closely with you to ensure that you’re well-prepared for the procedure. This may include preoperative testing, medication adjustments, and instructions to optimize your safety and comfort during surgery and recovery.
- Minimally Invasive Surgery: Dr Lauren performs laparoscopic hysterectomy using specialized instruments and a laparoscope, which provides high-definition images of the pelvic organs. Through small incisions in the abdomen, the uterus and cervix are carefully dissected, detached, and removed, while preserving surrounding tissues and organs.
- Optimized Recovery: Following laparoscopic hysterectomy, most patients experience less postoperative pain, reduced scarring, and faster recovery times compared to traditional open surgery. Our team will provide personalized postoperative care instructions, pain management strategies, and follow-up appointments to support your recovery and ensure optimal outcomes.
