Laparoscopic Hysterectomy
Minimally Invasive Removal of the Uterus with Faster Recovery
At Oorkid Hospital & IVF Centre, laparoscopic hysterectomy is performed using advanced minimally invasive techniques to treat gynecological conditions that no longer respond to medical or conservative treatment.
Our focus is on safety, informed consent, and uterus-removal only when medically necessary, with personalised counselling before every decision.
What Is Laparoscopic Hysterectomy?
A laparoscopic hysterectomy is a surgical procedure in which the uterus is removed using small keyhole incisions with the help of a laparoscope (camera) and specialised instruments.
Compared to open surgery, laparoscopic hysterectomy offers:
- Smaller incisions
- Less pain after surgery
- Reduced blood loss
- Shorter hospital stay
- Faster recovery and healing
It is commonly recommended when uterus-related conditions significantly affect quality of life.
Conditions That May Require Laparoscopic Hysterectomy
- Severe or persistent fibroids
- Abnormal uterine bleeding not responding to treatment
- Adenomyosis
- Endometriosis involving the uterus
- Uterine prolapse
- Chronic pelvic pain related to uterine pathology
The decision is made only after detailed evaluation and discussion.
Types of Laparoscopic Hysterectomy
- Removal of uterus only
- Removal of uterus with cervix
- Removal of uterus with ovaries and fallopian tubes (only when required)
Your surgeon will explain exactly what is being removed and why before surgery.
