What Is a Laparoscopic Hysterectomy? Procedure, Types & More

A woman’s health often undergoes several changes over time, with reproductive health being a major area of concern. One effective solution for severe gynaecological conditions is a laparoscopic hysterectomy.

A laparoscopic hysterectomy is a minimally invasive surgery performed using a laparoscope to remove the uterus or other reproductive organs that may pose a risk of disease or complications. Also referred to as keyhole surgery, this procedure involves making small incisions in the abdomen to access and remove the uterus.

It is one of the most preferred solutions, as it avoids the need for large incisions, reducing trauma to the body. This leads to faster recovery than other strategies and minimises scars and damage to surrounding tissues.

In this blog, we will explore the types of hysterectomy, the procedure, when a laparoscopic hysterectomy is recommended, and post-surgical recovery.
