Anyone had Total Laparoscopic Hysterectomy?
I can't find any information on this version of the surgery....
The only laproscopic info I see is a vaginal surgery. My doc said he will do either abdominal incision or abdominal laproscopy (if my uterus is small enough at the pre-op measuring). Is there anyone out there who had abdominal laproscopy? Can you tell me what to expect?

If you go into the pre-op articles then look on the left side there is a box with pre-op resources in it. Click this link and there are tons of good info there. Not sure if I can post the link to it or not but I'll try.

Anyone had Total Laparoscopic Hysterectomy?
I had a total laparoscopic hysterectomy. I had three small incisions, one in my navel and the other two a few inches below each hip and a couple inches in toward the center of my abdomen. My uterus was moderately enlarged with multiple fibroids. I had the procedure in the morning and spent one night in the hospital. I had very little pain, in fact I would describe it as discomfort more than pain. I was up and around within a few days. I'm having the usual issues with fatigue three weeks out but am very glad I did not have a big incision to heal.
Hope this helps.

I had LSH, which was done through those same three, small, incisions. It was very easy, very little pain and pretty quick. I was in the OR for about 90 minutes. You would still have a lot of healing to do, internally, but, as sculpturegarden said, no big incision to heal.
I only had one small snafu...a stitch abscess at week 5. It was in the incision that is on my left hip, the one I sleep on. Just a small spot...the Dr. poked and prodded (the worst part of my whole recovery) and then gave me seven days worth of antibiotics. It cleared up fast.
You will find many, many of us on this site who have had laproscopic surgery. Lots of good info will be shared, I am sure.
