Overview
What is Hysterectomy?
Hysterectomy is a surgical procedure that removes the uterus, often recommended for conditions such as fibroids, endometriosis, heavy menstrual bleeding, uterine prolapse, or certain gynecological cancers. Depending on the medical condition, surgery may also involve removing the ovaries and fallopian tubes.
At Dr. KM Cherian Institute of Medical Sciences, our Department of Obstetrics & Gynaecology offers advanced hysterectomy procedures, including minimally invasive techniques, ensuring patients’ safe and comfortable recovery.
When is a Hysterectomy Recommended?
A hysterectomy may be advised for the following conditions:
- Uterine Fibroids: Noncancerous growths causing pain and heavy bleeding.
- Endometriosis: Severe cases where other treatments have failed.
- Abnormal Uterine Bleeding: Persistent and excessive bleeding unresponsive to medication.
- Uterine Prolapse: The uterus shifts from its normal position due to weakened pelvic muscles.
- Gynecologic Cancer: Treatment for cervical, uterine, or ovarian cancer in some instances.
- Chronic Pelvic Pain: Caused by non-cancerous conditions when other treatments are ineffective.
Types of Hysterectomy
At KMC Hospital, Chengannur, we provide a range of hysterectomy options tailored to each patient’s needs:
- Total Hysterectomy: Removal of the uterus and cervix.
- Partial (Subtotal) Hysterectomy: Removal of the uterus while preserving the cervix.
- Radical Hysterectomy: Removal of the uterus, cervix, and part of the vagina (typically for cancer treatment).
- Hysterectomy with Oophorectomy: Removal of the uterus along with one or both ovaries and fallopian tubes.
Surgical Approaches
Our team specializes in advanced surgical techniques, including:
- Minimally Invasive Laparoscopic Hysterectomy: Small incisions, faster recovery, and less post-operative pain.
- Vaginal Hysterectomy: A scar-free approach performed through the vaginal canal.
- Traditional abdominal hysterectomy: This is recommended for larger growths or when access is needed for surrounding organs.
We aim to offer personalized and minimally invasive solutions for faster healing and minimal discomfort.
