  • Uterine Leiomyomas[3]
  • Uterine Bleeding[3]
  • Endometriosis[3]
  • Adenomyosis[3]
  • Endometrial hyperplasia[3]
  • Uterine Cancer[3]

Types of Hysterectomies[edit | edit source]

  1. Total Abdominal Hysterectomy - Removal of the uterine body and the cervix[4]
  2. Supracervical Hysterectomy - Removal of the fundus and body of the uterus but excludes the cervix [4]
  3. Hysterectomies are associated with removal of the ovaries and fallopian tubes ( Bilateral salphingo-oophorectomy)[4]
  4. Radical Hysterectomy

Surgical Approaches for hysterectomy[edit | edit source]

  • Abddominal Hysterectomy[5] - This route allows inspection of other pelvic organs and surrounding tissue. This route is used for carcinoma or to remove a large fibroid uterus. The uterus is accessed through a Pfannenstiel( Bikini-line) incision.
  • Vaginal Hysterectomy[5]- An incision is made in the anterior vaginal wall to access the uterus and cervix. This approach is usually used for non-malignant conditions of the uterus, particularly in cases of uterine prolapse.
  • Laparoscopic Hysterectomy[5] -
  • Robotic-assisted Hysterectomy[5]

[6]

Complications[edit | edit source]

  • Vaginal Cuff Cellulitis[7]
  • Infected Pelvic Hematoma or Abscess[7]
  • Wound Infection[7]
  • Urinary Tract Infection[7]
  • Venous thromboembolism[7]
