Laparoscopic-Assisted Hysterectomy

Laparoscopic-Assisted Hysterectomy is a minimally invasive surgical procedure performed to remove the uterus in cases of fibroids. Fibroids, also known as uterine leiomyomas, are noncancerous growths that develop in the muscular wall of the uterus. This surgical approach combines laparoscopic techniques with vaginal surgery to achieve the removal of the uterus and fibroids.

During a laparoscopic-assisted hysterectomy, the patient is placed under general anaesthesia to ensure comfort throughout the procedure. Several small incisions are made in the abdomen to insert specialised instruments and a laparoscope. The laparoscope is a thin, lighted instrument with a camera that provides a magnified view of the abdominal cavity, allowing the surgeon to perform the procedure with precision. The surgeon begins by using the laparoscope to visualise the uterus, fallopian tubes, and ovaries. They carefully separate the uterus from the surrounding tissues and blood vessels, and any large fibroids are identified. Next, the surgeon makes a small incision at the top of the vagina to gain access to the uterus. The laparoscopic instruments are used to detach the uterus from the cervix and upper vagina. Once the uterus is detached, it is removed through the vagina, which minimises the need for larger incisions in the abdomen. If necessary, the surgeon may also remove the fallopian tubes and ovaries during the procedure. The vaginal incision is closed with sutures or dissolvable stitches, and the abdominal incisions are closed using absorbable sutures or surgical tape.

Laparoscopic-assisted hysterectomy for fibroids offers several advantages over traditional open surgery. The smaller incisions result in reduced postoperative pain, less scarring, and a faster recovery time. Patients experience less blood loss during the procedure, leading to a lower risk of complications. The magnified view provided by the laparoscope allows for greater precision and accuracy, minimising damage to surrounding tissues.
