Open Approach
The uterus is removed through a larger abdominal incision when this route is considered appropriate for your condition.
Hysterectomy is surgery to remove the uterus (womb). It may be performed through an open abdominal incision or a laparoscopic (keyhole) approach, depending on your condition. Consult Dr. Sreesti Jaiswal to discuss suitability, alternatives, risks and recovery before deciding on your care.

A hysterectomy is an operation to remove the uterus (womb). After the procedure, you will no longer be able to carry a pregnancy.
It may be considered for selected uterine conditions when other suitable treatments have not helped or are not appropriate. Open and laparoscopic surgery are two possible approaches. Discuss your reports, alternatives, risks and recovery with Dr. Sreesti Jaiswal in East of Kailash, New Delhi. The surgical approach and organs removed are separate decisions.

A camera and instruments are introduced through small incisions to carry out the operation when this approach is suitable.
The cervix may be removed or retained. Removal of the ovaries is a separate decision and is not always necessary.
Recovery varies with the procedure. Removing both ovaries before natural menopause causes immediate surgical menopause; discuss this beforehand.
Removing the uterus can stop persistent heavy menstrual bleeding when other suitable treatments have not helped. The planned extent of surgery should be discussed.
Hysterectomy may relieve pain caused by uterine conditions such as adenomyosis. It does not necessarily resolve pain arising outside the uterus.
When large uterine fibroids cause pressure or discomfort, removing the uterus may help. Assessment is needed to confirm the cause and consider alternatives.
When suitable, laparoscopic hysterectomy may offer a shorter recovery than open surgery. Both are major operations, and recovery depends on your health and procedure.
Hysterectomy permanently removes the ability to carry a pregnancy. Discuss alternatives, surgical risks and whether the ovaries need removal with Dr. Sreesti Jaiswal. The most suitable approach depends on your individual assessment.
