Laparoscopic Hysterectomy In Dubai
Overview
Suppose a woman is suffering from severe symptoms of endometriosis, gynaecological cancer, pelvic support problems, abnormal uterine bleeding, or chronic pelvic pain. In that case, a doctor at our clinic in Dubai might recommend a laparoscopic hysterectomy surgery for her. The specific approach chosen depends on the patient’s medical history, condition, and the surgeon’s expertise.
While laparoscopic hysterectomy in Dubai has many benefits, it may not be right for everyone. Conditions like obesity, scarring from past surgeries, or specific health issues may require another approach. It is essential to consult with a qualified gynaecologist or surgeon to determine the most appropriate treatment option based on individual circumstances.
What is Laparoscopic Hysterectomy?
At our centre in Dubai, laparoscopic hysterectomy is a procedure that removes the uterus through small cuts in the abdomen. Along with specialized surgical instruments, this technique also utilizes a laparoscope, which is a thin, flexible tube with a camera and light source connected to it.
In a laparoscopic hysterectomy, our surgeon makes minor cuts in the abdomen to insert the laparoscope and other tools. The laparoscope lets the surgeon see the internal organs and guide the surgery accurately. The uterus is carefully detached from surrounding tissues and blood vessels and then removed through one of the small incisions or through the vagina.
Why Do Doctors Recommend a Hysterectomy?
If your doctor has advised you to have a laparoscopic hysterectomy in Dubai, it could be for several reasons:
- Urinary prolapse
- Cancer of the cervix, womb, or ovaries
- Pelvic pain, possibly due to endometriosis
- Fibroids often cause heavy periods, which in many cases require an abdominal procedure.
Women with weighty periods may find it extremely uncomfortable and unable to engage in their everyday activities during this time. Not only can this be upsetting, but it can also be dangerous if large amounts of blood are lost.
If a woman isn’t willing to have children, she may choose to have her womb and cervix removed. This can improve quality of life, but it is noteworthy that it may also have other side effects, such as hormonal changes.
For these reasons, you must have a thorough discussion with a physician.
In the case of diseases like cancer, surgery is usually the last resort. If other treatments, such as radiotherapy, are effective in destroying cancerous cells, a hysterectomy may not be necessary. However, if the physician believes that this is the ideal course of action, it is always in the best interests of the patient.
What is the procedure for uterus removal in Dubai?
The reproductive system’s organs and surrounding tissues are removed through small keyhole surgery during a laparoscopic hysterectomy in Dubai at our clinic. This approach reduces damage to surrounding tissue, results in a smaller scar, and improves recovery times.
The tiny telescope-containing tube, known as a “laparoscope,” is slid into the stomach through a small incision. This scope is used to provide a visual for the surgeon so that they can clearly see what they are doing while working. As a result, surgeons won’t have to remove a large fold of skin to gain access.
The surgeon will then make another incision, this time in the abdomen or the vagina. They will then be able to use surgical instruments, guided by the laparoscope footage, to carefully remove the womb, cervix, and other reproductive system parts as deemed necessary for improved health.
Methods of laparoscopic hysterectomy in Dubai
A doctor can use any of the following three techniques to perform a laparoscopic hysterectomy surgery in Dubai:
Robotic-Assisted Radical Total Laparoscopic Hysterectomy: A robot attached to instruments is used to assist in performing surgery through tiny incisions made with a laparoscope.
Laparoscopic Assisted Vaginal Hysterectomy: Surgeons use laparoscopic surgery to complete the intra-abdominal component of the procedure. In contrast, the surgeon uses transvaginal surgery to complete the remainder, including the vaginal incision and cervical tissue excision.
Total Laparoscopic Hysterectomy: In this method, using laparoscopy throughout the procedure, the surgical specimen is removed through the vagina.
Recovery post laparoscopic hysterectomy
The time a patient takes to recover from laparoscopy heavily depends on the patient’s overall health. As a result, most women only need to stay in the hospital for a few days post-treatment before returning to work or home. If everything goes well, they can walk the next day. Most patients can return to work 3 or 4 days after surgery if they are on narcotic pain medication.
The first two weeks of recovery may be the most difficult, lasting four to six weeks. For the first 2 weeks, patients may need to take pain relievers as needed.
Most patients can resume their normal routines two weeks after rehabilitation. People may go to work and do some light walking, for example. It is best to consult our doctor before engaging in any physical activity, as with any other.
