What is a laparoscopic hysterectomy?
Removal of the uterus through a few small incisions instead of a large abdominal cut, usually with less pain and a faster recovery.
What are common reasons for a hysterectomy?
Symptomatic fibroids, adenomyosis, severe abnormal bleeding, prolapse and some early-stage conditions.
Is it better than open surgery?
The minimally invasive approach generally means smaller incisions, less pain and a shorter recovery, when the case allows it.
Does a hysterectomy cause menopause?
It ends menstruation and pregnancy, but if the ovaries are preserved it does not bring on hormonal menopause.
Are the ovaries removed too?
Not necessarily. Whether to keep the ovaries is decided individually based on your age and condition.
How long is recovery?
With the laparoscopic approach, recovery is usually shorter than with open surgery; it varies per person.
Does it affect sexual function?
Most patients do not report a negative effect; it is discussed individually before surgery.
Can international patients plan remotely?
Yes. A $50 USD online video consultation lets us review studies, confirm the indication and plan the visit.
