This video shows Total Laparoscopic Hysterectomy performed by Dr. R K Mishra at World Laparoscopy Hospital. A Total Laparoscopic Hysterectomy (TLH) is an operation to remove the uterus with the aid of an operating telescope called a laparoscope. This tiny instrument is inserted through a small cut in the abdominal wall and allows the surgeon to see into your abdomen. The major benefit of this kind of hysterectomy is that you will not need to have a large cut in your abdomen and your recovery is usually much faster.
