Why Laparoscopic Hysterectomy Is Needed
Laparoscopic hysterectomy is recommended for the same underlying conditions as open hysterectomy, including symptomatic fibroids, endometriosis, chronic pelvic pain, abnormal bleeding unresponsive to other treatments, or early-stage gynaecological cancers, but chosen specifically when the uterus size and patient's anatomy make a minimally invasive approach feasible. It is preferred when a faster recovery and smaller scars are priorities.
Signs You May Need Laparoscopic Hysterectomy
Patients typically present with heavy or prolonged menstrual bleeding, chronic pelvic pain or pressure, pain during intercourse from fibroids or endometriosis, or a uterus that has grown large enough from fibroids to cause bloating and discomfort. Anaemia from long-standing heavy bleeding is a common associated finding that prompts surgical treatment.
Types of Laparoscopic Hysterectomy
This can be performed as a total laparoscopic hysterectomy, removing the entire uterus and cervix through keyhole incisions, or as a laparoscopic-assisted vaginal hysterectomy (LAVH), where the uterus is freed laparoscopically but removed vaginally. Robotic-assisted laparoscopic hysterectomy is an increasingly available option offering enhanced precision for complex cases at specialised centres.

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.
