استئصال الرحم البطن

If an abdominal hysterectomy is recommended to a patient, they must ensure to practice the following steps before surgery:

Medicine: A patient must inform the doctor about any medications they are taking before the surgery. The medical specialist may ask to discontinue certain medicines for the time being. 

Allergy: Anesthesia is used in this surgery. If a patient is allergic to anything, they must inform the doctors about the same. 

Evaluation: The patient would have to undergo some tests and screenings before the surgery. Pap test, pelvic ultrasound, Biopsy, Blood tests, ECG, X-rays and more may be a part of these tests.

Diet: It is recommended that one eats a light meal the night before surgery.

The surgeon will begin the procedure by administering general anesthesia to the patient. This is done to minimize the pain intensity of the open surgery. First, the surgeon makes incisions in the lower abdomen region (tummy). Nearly 10 cm long incision is made. The type of incision (horizontal or vertical) depends upon the size of the uterus and the reason for the procedure. This way the surgeon would have access to the uterus of the patient. The doctor continues to remove the uterus in case of a partial hysterectomy. In a total hysterectomy, the cervix (the lower part of the uterus) is also removed. In some cases, depending upon the patient’s overall health, the surgeon may also detach the fallopian tubes and ovaries. 

Post this, the incision is stitched and the abdomen is closed.

After the procedure is complete, the patient can expect the following steps to be taken:

• The surgical team will monitor the patient’s overall health. 

• The patient is expected not to indulge in any strenuous activity like heavy lifting.

• The patient may experience vaginal bleeding and discharge, post-surgery.

• The doctors and nursing staff will provide instructions on how to take medicines.

• The patient will be encouraged to take walks after some time.

Abdominal Hysterectomy is one of the most common hysterectomies performed. It is a safe procedure if done by professional and qualified specialists. However, the procedure carries some risks and complications. These include:

• Infections at the surgery site
