Laparoscopic Uterus Removal Surgery in Agra - Dr. Shubhra Goyal
Expert Care for Advanced Uterine Health
When it comes to your health, choosing the right doctor and surgical method is essential for a successful and speedy recovery. Dr. Shubhra Goyal, a renowned gynecologist in Agra, specializes in laparoscopic uterus removal surgery (hysterectomy), offering advanced care with minimal discomfort and faster recovery times.
What is Minimally Invasive Uterus Removal?
Minimally invasive surgery refers to techniques that involve small incisions, advanced instruments, and often the use of a camera (laparoscopy) to perform the procedure with precision. Unlike traditional surgery, which requires a large abdominal cut, MIS allows the uterus to be removed through tiny incisions or natural openings, leading to less trauma and faster healing.
Types of Minimally Invasive Hysterectomy
- Laparoscopic Hysterectomy
- Performed through small abdominal cuts.
- A camera and surgical tools guide the removal process.
- Vaginal Hysterectomy
- The uterus is removed through the vaginal canal without external incisions.
- Robotic-Assisted Hysterectomy
- Advanced technology allows for precise, robot-assisted control via small incisions.
Why Opt for Minimally Invasive Gynaecology?
1. Smaller Incisions, Less Pain
With MIS, the incisions are usually 0.5 to 1 cm, which results in minimal post-surgical pain compared to open surgery.
2. Quicker Recovery Time
Most patients can return to daily activities within 1-2 weeks after MIS, whereas open surgery may require 4-6 weeks.
3. Reduced Risk of Infection and Bleeding
Smaller wounds mean lower chances of infection, less blood loss, and a reduced need for blood transfusion.
4. Shorter Hospital Stay
Patients often go home within 24-48 hours of the procedure, sometimes even on the same day, compared to longer stays with open surgery.
5. Minimal Scarring
Because of the tiny incisions, scarring is minimal and often barely visible over time.
6. Improved Quality of Life
Faster recovery means less disruption to your personal and professional life, with quicker resumption of normal routines.
Who Needs a Hysterectomy?
Hysterectomy may be advised in cases of:
- Uterine fibroids cause pain or heavy bleeding.
- Endometriosis is not responding to other treatments.
- Chronic pelvic pain.
- Abnormal uterine bleeding.
- Uterine prolapse (descent of the uterus).
- Cancer of the uterus, cervix, or ovaries.
Is Minimally Invasive Surgery Safe for Everyone?
Most women are eligible for MIS, but the final decision depends on:
- Size and shape of the uterus.
- Previous surgeries or scar tissue.
- Presence of other medical conditions.
As your gynecologist, I conduct detailed evaluations and suggest the most suitable approach for your health and safety.
Frequently Asked Questions
1. Will I lose my hormones after uterus removal?
No, unless the ovaries are removed, your body will continue producing hormones as before.
2. Can I have a hysterectomy if I haven’t had children?
Yes, but the decision should be made carefully, especially if future fertility is a concern.
3. Is MIS more expensive than open surgery?
While the initial cost may be slightly higher due to specialized equipment, the shorter hospital stay and quicker recovery often make it more cost-effective overall.
