What is hysterectomy and when is it necessary?
Hysterectomy is a surgery performed to either remove the uterus completely or remove a part of it. It is the last-resort treatment option to treat difficult conditions of the female reproductive system. These health problems include uterine fibroids, endometriosis, adenomyosis, uterine prolapse, gyneacologic cancer, chronic pelvic pain, and others.
What are the types of hysterectomies? In which cases is each one chosen?
There are different types of hysterectomies, each involving different levels of removal within the female reproductive system. Depending on the patient’s condition, the surgeon determines what is best for the patient and chooses one of the following procedures:
This surgery removes only the uterine body while preserving the cervix, fallopian tubes, and ovaries. Partial hysterectomy may be recommended in cases of ovarian, uterine or cervical cancer.
In a total uterine removal, both the uterine body and the cervix are removed, while the fallopian tubes and the ovaries are left intact. This type of surgery may be recommended in cases of uterine fibroids, endometriosis, adenomyosis, and uterine prolapse.
However, if there is a larger build-up of the fluid, it might need to be drained by a specialist. A healthcare professional will usually take care of this and seromas rarely cause long-term problems. Sometimes a surgeon will place drains that collect serous fluid in order to prevent seroma formation. If this happens, patients are allowed to travel (and fly) with their drains in place.
The procedure involves extensive removal of the body of the uterus, the cervix, fallopian tubes, and ovaries altogether. Cancer is the most common indication for a total hysterectomy, followed by severe endometriosis, uterine prolapse, recurring pelvic pain, and certain benign conditions, like large uterine fibroids, adenomyosis, or others.
What are the types of hysterectomies? In which cases is each one chosen?
Hysterectomy is performed under general anaesthesia, which means that the patient is asleep during the entire surgery. There are different techniques to access the reproductive organs and remove the uterus. In an abdominal hysterectomy, the surgeon removes the uterus through a 15-20 centimetre-long incision. In a vaginal hysterectomy, the surgeon makes an incision in the upper part of the vagina (close to the cervix). In laparoscopic hysterectomy, the surgeon makes a few key-hole size incisions and inserts a laparoscope (a thin tube with a video camera) and other assistive instruments. The following steps of detaching the uterus from the ligaments and blood vessels are similar in all types of hysterectomies. Once the uterus (sometimes altogether with the ovaries) is taken out and the tissues are stitched and closed. In vaginal hysterectomy there is usually no bandaging, however, in abdominal hysterectomy and laparoscopic hysterectomy, the wounds are closed with the dressings.
What are the different methods and how do they differ?
There are a few ways for the surgeon to access female reproductive organs and remove the uterus:
In an abdominal hysterectomy, the uterus is removed through a horizontal incision in the abdomen along the pubic hair. This technique could be recommended for the removal of ovaries and fallopian tubes, enlarged uterus, large fibroids, endometriosis, cancer, or other diseases involving the pelvic cavity. This type of approach allows better visibility and accessibility, which makes it a favorable option for complex cases.
In a vaginal hysterectomy, as the name suggests, the uterus is removed through the vaginal opening. This technique is more commonly chosen to treat uterine prolapse. Since the size and position of the vagina limit access to the uterus, vaginal hysterectomy cannot treat all conditions, for example, the opening of the vagina might be too small to remove large fibroids or cancerous tissue. This approach allows for shorter recovery time, decreased risk of infection, and minimal scarring.
In a laparoscopic hysterectomy, the uterus is removed through a keyhole incision in the abdomen. Compared to other types of hysterectomies, laparoscopic surgery is way less invasive and requires less downtime after surgery. Laparoscopic hysterectomy allows for reduced blood loss and quicker recovery as well as reduced scarring.
Preparing for the surgery.
Preparing for surgery takes a few important steps. Firstly, patients should consult the surgeon. During the examination, the surgeon evaluates the size of the uterus and determines the exact surgery plan. Patients should be prepared to discuss the medications and supplements as some of them could have blood-thinning properties and must be discontinued before surgery.
Women should not smoke for at least a month before and after the surgery and limit alcohol consumption. Losing weight is beneficial before surgery to reduce complication risk.
A week before the surgery, women should have a blood test and urinalysis. In some cases imaging studies, like ultrasound, MRI, or CT, are also needed. On the day of the surgery, women should not wear any jewellery to the hospital and refrain from eating at least 8 hours before surgery.
What does the healing period after a hysterectomy look like? What should women know?
After the abdominal hysterectomy, most women stay 2-3 nights in the hospital. After vaginal hysterectomy and laparoscopic hysterectomy, the hospital stay is shorter, usually only 1 night. Women are prescribed pain medications and given instructions on how to take care of the wound. Once discharged from the clinic, women should take 4-6 weeks to rest and recover. While most patients feel quite well after about 2 months, rehabilitation can take up to 3 months for internal healing. During this time, the body is prone to the internal strain of the wound or the repaired tissues. In the early postoperative stages, women begin gentle walking, continuing to increase the duration of activity. There are multiple benefits of walking, like reduced risk of blood clots, improved bowel function, increased energy, and relieved stiffness.
What are the possible side effects and complications?
Regardless of the surgery type, a hysterectomy is a major surgery that comes with certain risks, like infection, blood loss, the possible damage to the bladder, blood vessels, and nerves. There is a rare long-term risk of pelvic prolapse (a condition when the pelvic organs drop into an abnormal position). Women may experience various side effects, like bloating, lower back pain, constipation, fatigue, or weight gain.
