Procedure : LAVH (LAPAROSCOPIC ASSISTED VAGINAL HYSTERECTOMY)

ABOUT LAVH (LAPAROSCOPIC ASSISTED VAGINAL HYSTERECTOMY):

Hysterectomy is the surgical removal of all or part of the uterus. It may be advised in conditions like Fibroid, Endometriosis, Dysfunctional uterine bleeding, Pelvic inflammatory disease, cancer of cervix/ovary/uterus, Uterine prolapse, Endometrial hyperplasia, etc.

Depending on the reason for surgery, it may be:

- Subtotal hysterectomy- only the uterus is removed.

- Total hysterectomy- the uterus and cervix are removed.

- TAH with BSO (Total abdominal hysterectomy with bilateral salpingo-oopherectomy-Uterus, cervix, fallopian tubes and ovaries are removed.

- Radical hysterectomy- uterus, cervix, fallopian tubes, ovaries, upper portion of vagina, lymph nodes, and lymph channels are removed.

PROCEDURE

It is done under general or regional anaesthesia.

Hysterectomy can be performed through Abdominal or Vaginal route.

In LAVH, Vaginal hysterectomy is performed using a laparoscopic technique where a tube containing a tiny camera is inserted through an incision in the navel to visualize the abdominal cavity. Operating instruments are also inserted through small incisions in the abdomen to cut and tie off the blood vessels, fallopian tubes, and ligaments. When the uterus is detached, it is removed though a small incision at the top of the vagina. It allows surgeons to perform a vaginal hysterectomy that might otherwise be too difficult.

If the size of uterus is too big, it might not be possible to remove it through the vaginal route.

DURATION

The surgery takes from one to two hours. The hospital stay is of one to three days.

RECOVERY

Recovery is faster in LAVH, taking about two weeks to return to normal activities. Lifting of heavy objects or any other strenuous activity is to be avoided for at least four weeks. The menstrual periods are going to stop after hysterectomy. If ovaries are also removed, menopausal symptoms would start and few women may require hormone replacement therapy.
