Total Laparascopic Hysterectomy

Definition:
Definition: The laparoscopic hysterectomy is a minimally invasive surgery to remove your uterus using several small incisions in your belly. One incision is used for a camera which allows the surgical team to view inside your abdomen. The other incisions are used for tools needed to remove your uterus.

Acronym: TLH

Description of procedure: Just as a LAVH, tiny cuts are made in the abdominal wall to provide access for laparoscope and other surgical instruments. The uterus is removed through the tiny cuts in portions.

Indications/contra-indications:
Not all women are candidates for laparoscopic hysterectomies and the decision to use this method must be made on an individual basis.

Initial Recovery: Although a shorter recovery time because there are fewer incisions, expect 4 to 6 weeks of recovery, with some lifting and straining restrictions that could extend beyond this period.
