Abdominal hysterectomy is a surgical procedure that involves surgically removing the uterus (known as a hysterectomy) through an incision in the abdomen. Surgeons perform this procedure to treat various gynaecological conditions, like uterine fibroids, endometriosis, and cancer.
During the abdominal hysterectomy procedure, you will be under general anesthesia. If required, our surgeon will make an incision in the lower abdomen to remove the uterus, ovaries, and fallopian tubes. The procedure can take between one to three hours to complete.
After the surgery, you must stay in the hospital for several days to recover. Doctors will prescribe pain medication and antibiotics to control possible infections. You should rest and avoid any strenuous activity for several weeks.
Follow up with the doctor regularly to monitor healing progress. You can expect to experience relief from symptoms such as heavy bleeding, pain and discomfort after recovery. Please note that recovery can vary from person to person, and some may need more time to heal fully.
An abdominal hysterectomy is a safe and effective procedure for treating various gynaecological conditions. However, potential risks associated with the surgery include bleeding, infection and damage to surrounding organs.
