Frequently Asked Questions
How is laparoscopic hysterectomy different from open surgery?
It uses several small incisions instead of one large one, generally resulting in less pain, a shorter hospital stay, and a faster return to normal activities compared to open abdominal hysterectomy.
How much does laparoscopic hysterectomy cost in India?
Costs typically range from Rs 80,000 to Rs 1,50,000 depending on the hospital, complexity, and whether ovaries are also removed.
How long is the hospital stay and recovery?
Most patients stay in hospital for 1 to 2 days and can expect a full recovery within 2 to 4 weeks, considerably shorter than the 6 to 8 weeks typical of open surgery.
Will I still have periods after this surgery?
No, since the uterus is removed, menstrual periods stop completely, though if your ovaries are preserved, you will not experience surgical menopause.
Is laparoscopic hysterectomy suitable for everyone?
It is suitable for most patients, but very large fibroids, extensive scarring from previous surgery, or certain cancers may require an open approach instead, which your gynaecologist will assess based on imaging and examination.
