Frequently Asked Question
A doctor performing uterus removal surgery (hysterectomy) must have a master's (MS) in Gynecology or Obstetrics and core experience in gynecological surgeries. Since laparoscopic hysterectomy is currently the most advanced way of performing uterus-related surgeries, it is likable that the surgeon is also trained and experienced in minimal access surgeries.
Hysterectomy is typically performed through either of the two methods:
Conventional Hysterectomy: This involves manual incisions and stitches, and can be performed through either of the abdominal or vaginal routes.; Laparoscopic Hysterectomy: This involves tiny medical equipment with a camera and light on one end (medically known as a laparoscope). This camera is then used to provide a better understanding and access to the location, condition, and need of the diseased and the surrounding organs. It hence helps your surgeon perform a more precise and risk-free surgery with lesser blood loss and quicker recovery. This too can be used to perform uterus removal through both abdominal and vaginal routes.
