cancer is often detected in the early stages as it causes and abnormal bleeding.
A hysterectomy is a surgery performed to remove a woman’s uterus after cancerous growths have
been detected. General or regional anesthesia can be employed. During the procedure, the uterus
is removed along with the fallopian tubes and ovaries. After a hysterectomy, you can’t become
pregnant and you’ll start menopause. Some patients might need chemotherapy or radiation therapy.
Surgical approaches to hysterectomy
Abdominal hysterectomy
An incision is made on the stomach to have access to the uterus. This is the most common
procedure to treat uterine cancer.
Vaginal hysterectomy
A small incision is made on the top of the vagina to remove the uterus. This method is
less invasive and leads to a shorter hospital stay.
Laparoscopic hysterectomy
This is the least invasive method; 3 to 6 small cuts are made to the belly to insert the
laparoscope and the special tools needed to remove the uterus.
