Living With Heavy Bleeding, Chronic Pain, or a Uterus-Related Condition?

Do you struggle with heavy menstrual bleeding, pelvic pain, fibroids, adenomyosis, or repeated gynecological problems that don’t respond to medicines?
Have symptoms started affecting your work, sleep, energy levels, or emotional well-being?
Have you been told you may need a hysterectomy—but feel anxious about major surgery, long recovery, or visible scars?

When uterine problems persist, they don’t just cause physical discomfort. They can quietly impact
confidence, daily productivity, intimacy, and overall quality of life.
Many women delay treatment out of fear—living with symptoms far longer than necessary.

Thankfully, surgical care has evolved.

Laparoscopic Hysterectomy is a modern, minimally invasive approach to uterus removal that avoids large abdominal cuts.
Using keyhole surgery, the uterus is removed with less pain, minimal blood loss, faster recovery, and better cosmetic outcomes
compared to traditional open surgery.

In my clinical experience, this approach offers women a safer and more comfortable path to long-term relief when hysterectomy is medically indicated.

Global & Indian Statistics on Laparoscopic Hysterectomy

  • Hysterectomy is the second most common major surgery in women worldwide, after cesarean section.
  • Globally, over 5 million hysterectomies are performed every year.
  • Laparoscopic hysterectomy now accounts for 35–45% of all hysterectomies in developed healthcare systems.
  • Compared to open surgery, laparoscopic hysterectomy shows:
    • 40–50% less blood loss
    • 30–40% shorter hospital stay
    • Faster return to normal activity by 2–3 weeks
  • In India, hysterectomy rates are estimated at 6–8% among women aged 30–49, with a
    rapid shift toward laparoscopic and minimally invasive techniques in urban and tertiary centers.
  • Laparoscopic hysterectomy is now considered the preferred surgical approach for benign gynecological conditions when expertise and facilities are available.

Dr. Dimple Doshi’s Perspective:
A hysterectomy should never feel rushed or frightening. When done laparoscopically, with the right indications and experience,
it can be life-improving, recovery-friendly, and empowering—helping women move forward pain-free and confident.

What is a Laparoscopic Hysterectomy?

A laparoscopic hysterectomy removes the uterus through tiny keyhole incisions using a camera, causing less pain and faster recovery.

Key points

  • Minimally invasive (keyhole) uterus removal
  • Performed using advanced 3D laparoscopy
  • Less pain, minimal scars, quicker healing than open surgery

Synonymns of Laparoscopic Hysterectomy

minimally invasive hysterectomy, keyhole hysterectomy, laparoscopic uterus removal.

3D laparoscopy gives depth perception and precision, reducing blood loss, complications, and recovery time.

Advantages of 3D technology

  • High-definition, depth-accurate vision
  • Safer dissection near bladder and bowel
  • Better suturing and nerve preservation

Dr. Dimple Doshi’s Tip: 3D vision significantly improves safety in complex hysterectomies, especially with fibroids or adenomyosis.

Hysterectomy is advised when bleeding, pain, or uterine disease persists despite medical treatment.

Common indications

The type depends on disease, uterus size, and whether the cervix or ovaries need removal.

Types

  • Total Laparoscopic Hysterectomy (TLH)
  • Laparoscopic-Assisted Vaginal Hysterectomy (LAVH)
  • Laparoscopic Supracervical Hysterectomy (LSH)

Women with symptomatic fibroids, adenomyosis, or failed medical therapy often benefit most from laparoscopy.

You may be suitable if

  • Medical treatment has failed
  • Fibroids or adenomyosis affect quality of life
  • Deep infiltrating endometriosis affecting the quality of life due to heavy bleeding and pain
  • Early-stage cancer requiring surgery

A detailed evaluation helps personalize the safest approach.

Compared to open surgery, laparoscopy offers less pain, faster recovery, fewer infections, and smaller scars.

Benefits

  • Minimal scars and blood loss
  • Hospital stay: 24–48 hours
  • Faster recovery (7–10 days)
  • Lower infection risk

The uterus is removed using keyhole incisions under general anesthesia with advanced 3D laparoscopic guidance.

Step-by-step

  • General anesthesia
  • CO₂ inflates abdomen
  • 3D laparoscope inserted
  • Uterus detached and removed vaginally or by morcellation
  • Incisions closed with dissolvable sutures

Duration: ~90–150 minutes

Modern 3D systems and energy devices ensure precise, blood-controlled surgery.

Technology

  • Karl Storz Rubina 4K 3D system
  • Advanced energy sealing devices
  • Precision laparoscopic instruments

Pre-operative tests, fasting, and medication review help ensure a safe surgery and smooth recovery.

Preparation

  • Blood tests and imaging
  • Fasting 6–8 hours
  • Stop blood thinners if advised
  • Arrange transport and home support

The procedure is carefully planned, monitored, and usually requires only a short hospital stay.

On surgery day

  • Admission and final checks
  • Surgery: 1.5–3 hours
  • Recovery room observation
  • Discharge within 24–48 hours

Recovery is quick, with most women resuming normal life in 1–2 weeks.

  • Walk within 6–8 hrs after surgery
  • Resume light activity in 7–10 days
  • Full internal healing in 6–8 weeks

The surgery relieves pain and bleeding, restoring comfort, energy, and quality of life.

Outcomes

  • No more periods
  • Relief from chronic pain
  • Improved confidence and daily comfort

Complications are uncommon but may include bleeding, infection, or injury to nearby organs.

Possible risks

  • Bleeding 
  • infection
  • Bladder,bowel or ureteric injury
  • Adhesions (rare)
  • Anesthesia related complications

With expertise and 3D precision, risks remain low.
