Total Laparoscopic Hysterectomy

Total Laparoscopic Hysterectomy (TLH): An Effective Treatment for Uterine Conditions
Total Laparoscopic Hysterectomy (TLH) is a highly advanced surgical procedure used to treat a variety of uterine diseases such as fibroids, endometriosis, ovarian infections, chronic pelvic pain, overgrowth of uterine lining tissue (endometrial hyperplasia), and abnormal vaginal bleeding. Unlike traditional abdominal hysterectomy which involves a large incision, TLH is performed using minimally invasive laparoscopic techniques. This involves the laparoscopic ligation of the ovarian arteries and veins followed by the removal of the uterus either vaginally or abdominally, with laparoscopic closure of the vaginal cuff. The enhanced visualization and precision offered by TLH allow surgeons to perform the procedure with minimal blood loss and reduced trauma to surrounding tissues.

Why Choose TLH Over Traditional Hysterectomy?
TLH provides several key advantages over traditional open abdominal hysterectomy (AH) and laparoscopic-assisted vaginal hysterectomies (LAVH). The laparoscopic approach offers superior visualization of the pelvic anatomy, which allows surgeons to identify and preserve vital structures while minimizing bleeding. Patients undergoing TLH typically experience less pain, shorter hospital stays, faster recovery times, and a lower risk of complications such as infections or excessive blood loss. Furthermore, the smaller incisions used in TLH result in minimal scarring and a quicker return to normal activities, making it an ideal choice for women requiring surgical treatment for uterine conditions.

Benefits and Patient Outcomes
The benefits of TLH are significant and well-documented. Patients typically experience minimal blood loss during surgery, reducing the need for transfusions and lowering surgical risks. The minimally invasive nature of TLH means that hospital stays are shorter, often allowing patients to return home within a day or two. Recovery and healing are faster compared to open surgery, enabling patients to resume their daily routines and work more quickly. Moreover, the reduced risk of complications such as infections, adhesions, and pelvic pain contributes to improved overall patient satisfaction. At Eva Women’s Hospital, these advantages are realized consistently, supported by expert surgical care and personalized treatment plans tailored to each patient’s unique needs.
