This video demonstrates total laparoscopic hysterectomy (TLH) by Dr. R K Mishra at World Laparoscopy Hospital. Here U kit was used to visualize the ureter. There are several different types of hysterectomy, including:
• total hysterectomy, where both the uterus and cervix (neck of the womb) are removed
• subtotal hysterectomy, where just the uterus is removed and the cervix is not
• hysterectomy with salpingo-oophorectomy (removal of one or both of your ovaries and your fallopian tubes) at the same time. Some laparoscopic hysterectomies are done entirely by keyhole surgery. Others are done partially through your vagina (sometimes called a laparoscopic-assisted vaginal hysterectomy or LAVH). If you are having an LAVH, you might
find helpful information in Recovering well: information for you after a vaginal hysterectomy. The type of hysterectomy will depend on your personal circumstances and will be discussed with you by your gynecologist before your operation. You will need an anesthetic for a
laparoscopic hysterectomy. This will be a general anesthetic or a regional
anesthetic (spinal or epidural).
