Question re: prior surgeries

I want to find out what you ladies know about prior abdominal surgeries, scarring, and adhesions, and how these things factor into the decision of which type of hyster to perform.

A little background, I have a scar from another surgery a long time ago. I think and the gyn onc thought that I should be a candidate for the less invasive hyst procedure. My old ob gyn recommended LASH. The new gyn first said a vag hyst including cervix and poss ovary was likely the best option. Now, however, he seems to be planning hip to hip abdominal.

I am confused, and frustrated. I'm wondering if due to the prior surgeries, the dr may just feel like this is too complicated? Would you get 4th opinion? I need to be recovering as soon as possible, but I dont want to drag this out any further if I just simply am not a good candidate for the less invasive procedure. Thanks, your thoughts are deeply appreciated.

Re: Question re: prior surgeries

I had a hip to hip surgery when I was 2 to reimplant my ureters. Since then I've had 4 laps and 2 more surgeries going into the scar from my hip to hip. Because I've had surgies in the past hip to hip and because of the endometriosis, etc he is doing a TAH. He said that way he can be sure and get all the endo that he can and to make sure everything else is in its correct spot!
Was your past surgery abdominal? Do you have any issues that might interfere with a lap or vaginal? I think there are several different reasons to do one over the other. Just ask your dr a bunch of questions and make sure you are comfortable with what he suggests. There is also alot of information on this site that explains all the different types of hyst.
I hope that helps, even a little bit. I hope you find the answers you need and all goes well.
