Closed Uterus Surgery Ankara
Hysterectomy, the operation to remove the uterus, is called by different names depending on the area where the uterus is removed. The risk factors and degrees are different in each region. The fact that the uterus can be removed from different areas allows the treatment to be shaped exactly according to the patient's structure and needs. Hysterectomy surgery is divided into 3 different types according to the area where the operation is performed. To get information about hysterectomy and the post-hysterectomy period, you can make an appointment with Op. Dr. Aslıhan Yazıcıoğlu by calling our office.
1. Vaginal Hysterectomy
The most practical method for removing the uterus is hysterectomy. In this procedure, the uterus is removed through an incision made through the vagina. No surgical intervention is performed on the abdomen. If there is a need for abdominal imaging during the procedure, this is called "laparoscopic assisted vaginal hysterectomy". The main advantage of vaginal hysterectomy is that it causes fewer complications than abdominal hysterectomy and laparoscopic hysterectomy. The recovery time varies from person to person, but is generally shorter than other hysterectomy methods. In addition, urinary incision and bowel prolapse and vaginal deformation can also be corrected with this procedure.
2. Laparoscopic Hysterectomy
Laparoscopic hysterectomy is a hysterectomy procedure known as "closed hysterectomy". It is a modern surgical procedure that allows high-resolution cameras called laparoscopes to view the inside of the abdomen and simultaneously perform the surgical procedure through a thin incision. It is much more advantageous than other hysterectomy methods because the patient's recovery time is much shorter and there are no surgical scars. The patient spends less time in the hospital after the operation and the risk of infection is low. After a short time, the patient can return to her daily life and work.
3. Abdominal Hysterectomy
It is a method of surgery that is gradually being left behind in hysterectomies. The uterine tissue is removed through a deep incision made in the abdomen. For this reason, it is the method with the highest postoperative risk factors. The risk of infection, pain and clot formation is higher. The patient is hospitalized longer and the recovery period is longer. Although vaginal and laparoscopic hysterectomy are easier methods, they may not be applicable to all patients. In addition, the surgeon who will apply these methods must be experienced.
What are the Benefits of Closed Uterus Surgery?
Today, the closed surgery method allows many problems in the field of gynecology to be treated easily. In addition to the comfort it gives to the patient after the operation, it also has many health advantages. In closed hysterectomy, the risk of infection is lower than with other methods. Therefore, other problems that the patient may experience due to infection are largely eliminated. At the same time, the recovery period is shorter. This is a great advantage especially for working women. Approximately 1 month after the closed hysterectomy, complete recovery is observed and the patient is able to do everything on her own.
Why Closed Uterus Surgery is Performed
Closed hysterectomy is performed when the uterus becomes dysfunctional due to various health problems. In some cases, the health problems may progress to the point where they even negatively affect the patient's general health. In this case, gynecologists may recommend removal of the uterus. If the woman is of advanced age and does not plan to have children again, a hysterectomy can be performed. In a hysterectomy, reproduction becomes completely impossible as the uterine tissue, cervix, ovaries and fallopian tubes are removed. Problems that can be solved with closed hysterectomy:
- Chocolate cysts
- Uterine prolapse
- Abnormal uterine bleeding
- Diagnosis of uterine mass and cancer
What to Do After Total Laparoscopic Hysterectomy
Immediately after laparoscopic hysterectomy surgery, the doctor will tell you what you should or should not do. For this reason, the details to be careful after hysterectomy surgery are as follows:
- If you want to take a bath immediately after a hysterectomy, you must wait 2 days. During the 40-day period, it is not recommended to enter the sea, pool or bathtub.
- Some stitches dissolve on their own 10 days after the operation. Therefore, you do not need to check the stitches.
- Antibiotics, painkillers and iron preparations should be used as prescribed and never interrupted.
- It is normal to have spotting for 1-2 weeks. However, if heavy bleeding or painful bleeding occurs, you should definitely see a doctor.
