At Aktif International Hospitals, we offer comprehensive hysterectomy surgery services provided by experienced gynecologic surgeons to address women’s health concerns and improve overall quality of life.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is a hysterectomy, and why is it performed?

A hysterectomy is a surgical procedure that involves the removal of the uterus, and in some cases, other reproductive organs such as the cervix, ovaries, and fallopian tubes. Hysterectomy may be recommended for various reasons, including:

Uterine fibroids: Large or symptomatic uterine fibroids that cause pelvic pain, heavy menstrual bleeding, or other complications may require hysterectomy for symptom relief.
Endometriosis: Severe endometriosis that does not respond to conservative treatments may necessitate hysterectomy to alleviate symptoms such as pelvic pain, infertility, and menstrual irregularities.
Uterine prolapse: Hysterectomy may be indicated for uterine prolapse, a condition characterized by the descent or protrusion of the uterus into the vaginal canal, resulting in pelvic pressure, discomfort, and urinary or bowel symptoms.
Abnormal uterine bleeding: Hysterectomy may be recommended for persistent or severe abnormal uterine bleeding that does not respond to conservative treatments, such as medication or minimally invasive procedures.
Gynecologic cancers: Hysterectomy may be part of the treatment plan for gynecologic cancers, including uterine cancer, cervical cancer, ovarian cancer, or fallopian tube cancer, depending on the stage and extent of the disease.

What are the different types of hysterectomy procedures?

There are several types of hysterectomy procedures, including:

Total hysterectomy: Removal of the uterus and cervix, with or without removal of the ovaries and fallopian tubes.
Partial hysterectomy (subtotal hysterectomy): Removal of the upper part of the uterus while preserving the cervix.
Total hysterectomy with bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy: Removal of the uterus, cervix, ovaries, and fallopian tubes.
Radical hysterectomy: Removal of the uterus, cervix, upper part of the vagina, and surrounding tissues, often performed for gynecologic cancers.

The choice of hysterectomy procedure depends on the underlying gynecological condition, the patient’s medical history, reproductive goals, and surgeon’s recommendation.

What are the benefits of hysterectomy surgery?

Hysterectomy surgery offers several potential benefits for women with gynecological conditions, including:

Symptom relief: Hysterectomy can alleviate symptoms such as pelvic pain, abnormal uterine bleeding, menstrual irregularities, and pressure or discomfort caused by uterine fibroids or uterine prolapse.
Improved quality of life: By addressing underlying gynecological issues, hysterectomy surgery can improve overall quality of life, physical well-being, and emotional health for women experiencing debilitating symptoms or complications.
Treatment of gynecologic cancers: For women diagnosed with gynecologic cancers, hysterectomy may be a crucial component of the treatment plan to remove cancerous tissues, prevent disease progression, and reduce the risk of recurrence.

How is hysterectomy surgery performed at Aktif International Hospitals?

Hysterectomy surgery at Aktif International Hospitals is performed by experienced gynecologic surgeons using advanced surgical techniques and state-of-the-art equipment. The hysterectomy procedure may be performed using one of the following approaches:

Laparoscopic hysterectomy: Minimally invasive procedure performed through small incisions in the abdomen using a laparoscope (a thin, lighted instrument with a camera) and specialized surgical instruments.
Robotic-assisted hysterectomy: Similar to laparoscopic hysterectomy, but with the assistance of robotic technology to enhance precision, dexterity, and visualization during surgery.
Abdominal hysterectomy: Traditional open surgery performed through a larger incision in the abdomen, allowing direct access to the reproductive organs.

The choice of surgical approach depends on factors such as the patient’s medical history, the complexity of the surgery, and the surgeon’s expertise.
