Hysterectomy at Thanawala’s
At Thanawalas, we always try to understand the underlying reason for the uterine problem and suggest a corrective treatment. To confirm the need of a hysterectomy we use various diagnosis like MRI, Ultra-sound or hysteroscopy. Different ways of doing a hysterectomy are
- Laparoscopic or keyhole Surgery: The surgery is done via 3-4 small keyhole incisions on the abdomen. There is no big scar and the patient is discharged after 2 days and can join work in a few weeks.
- Vaginal Hysterectomy: The uterus is removed through the vagina, especially in the cases of uterine prolapse. If required, a vaginal repair is also done in the same sitting.
- Open Abdominal Hysterectomy: Was done for large uteri but now with the advanced laparoscopic procedures generally not resorted to.
All the laparoscopic surgeries are been done under the assistance of best hysterectomy specialist in Navi Mumbai with utmost care and precaution.
