What is a Total Laparoscopic Hysterectomy?

Why might I need a hysterectomy?
A hysterectomy may be recommended to treat conditions such as fibroids, adenomyosis, endometriosis, heavy menstrual bleeding, chronic pelvic pain, or other gynaecological conditions that have not responded to less invasive treatments.
-
What are the benefits of laparoscopic hysterectomy?
Compared with open surgery, a laparoscopic hysterectomy often results in smaller incisions, less postoperative pain, reduced blood loss, shorter hospital stays, and a quicker return to normal activities.

How long does recovery take after a laparoscopic hysterectomy?
Recovery varies between individuals, but most patients return to light daily activities within a few weeks. Full recovery typically takes around 4–6 weeks, although this may differ depending on your overall health and the complexity of your surgery.

Will my ovaries be removed during the procedure?
Not necessarily. Whether the ovaries are removed depends on your age, symptoms, medical history, and the reason for surgery. This will be discussed with you in detail during your consultation so you can make an informed decision.

Many women are suitable candidates for a laparoscopic hysterectomy, including those with fibroids, heavy periods, adenomyosis, and other benign gynaecological conditions.
