What is a laser hysterctomy?

The term "laser hysterectomy" may apply to several different procedures, not all that actually include the use of surgical lasers. It is most commonly used in relation to laparoscopically assisted vaginal hysterctomy (Lvah), which is a procedure performed without a laser. It can also refer to laser ablation of the uterus, acceptable treatment of certain types of conditions, although the uterus is not actually removed in such procedures and are not technically hysterectomy. Laser hysterectomic procedure is less invasive than abdominal hysterectomy, where a large cut is made through the pelvis to access the uterus and remove. It can be an alternative to general laparoscopic hysterectomy, where the uterus is removed to pieces with very small abdominal sections. Total laparoscopic hysterectomy is not the possibility of all patients, for various reasons. The main muscles are not interrupted and a large part of the pelvic floor is left intact. In addition to reducing pain and discomfort during recovery, it also reduces riskincontinence and other problems later. Infections tend to be less likely with laparoscopic procedures and vaginal scarring will decrease, which after hysterctomy fears that some women are afraid of sexual activities.

Usually, very few scars can be observed using laser hysterctomic procedures. The cuts made to introduce tools are small and will heal and leave small marks. The brands will be more evident if the patient is tanned, but otherwise they should be relatively inconspicuous. The scarring is worried about some patients, especially because historically hysterectomy required large cuts and often left ugly scars behind.

The reasons for the call of the procedure are unclear. It is possible that this term should earn the patient's preference for the latest medical procedures. Laser procedures also have the reputation of safety, reliability and shortened healing times, thereby making a "laser" in the name of the procedureUry refers to the patient. Patients considering hystectomy should ask about available options and get details of how procedures are carried out to inform the best type of procedure for their situation. Gynecological surgeons are also usually willing to provide recommendations for colleagues for second opinions, which gives patients the opportunity to get more information about the planned operations.
