Total Laparoscopic Hysterectomy (TLH)

A hysterectomy is the surgical removal of the uterus. Hysterectomy may be "complete" or "partial". Removal of the uterus renders the patient unable to bear children. In TLH, surgery is performed through three small incisions. Time taken is about 40 minutes. Patient is discharged within 24-48 hrs. of surgery.

Indications :

Hysterectomy is usually performed for problems with the uterus itself or problems with the entire female reproductive complex. Some of the conditions treated by hysterectomy include 1. Uterine Fibroids  2. Endometriosis  3. Adenomyosis  4. Vaginal Prolapse.

Uterine fibroids, although a benign disease, may cause heavy menstrual flow and discomfort to some of those with the condition.
