Laparoscopic Panhysterectomy (Removal of the Uterus with Adnexa)
Radical Solution to the Problem Without Large Incisions
Laparoscopic panhysterectomy is an operation for the complete removal of the uterus along with the ovaries and fallopian tubes. Previously, such interventions required a large abdominal incision and prolonged rehabilitation. Today, at St. Luke’s Clinic, we perform this complex operation using a minimally invasive method — through 3-4 small punctures on the abdominal wall. This is the “gold standard” of world surgery, allowing a woman to quickly return to a full life.
When is panhysterectomy necessary?
The doctors of our clinic fight to preserve organs until the last moment, but there are conditions when the removal of the uterus with adnexa is the only way to preserve the patient’s health and life:
- Multiple uterine fibroids of large size, rapidly growing or accompanied by bleeding.
- Atypical endometrial hyperplasia (precancerous condition) in menopausal women.
- Cancer of the uterine body, ovaries, or cervix (in the early stages).
- Widespread endometriosis (adenomyosis) that is resistant to conservative treatment and causes unbearable pain.
- Uterine prolapse in combination with ovarian pathology.
Advantages of laparoscopy at St. Luke’s Clinic
We use state-of-the-art endoscopic equipment that provides the surgeon with an ideal view of the surgical field with multiple magnification.
- Minimal invasiveness: Instead of a large scar — only a few inconspicuous marks from punctures (0.5–1 cm).
- Rapid recovery: Patients start walking on the day of the operation, and discharge from the hospital usually occurs on the 2nd-3rd day.
- Safety: The use of modern instruments for coagulation (“sealing”) of vessels minimizes blood loss.
- Reduced pain: In the postoperative period, pain is significantly less than after open surgery.
How is the operation and rehabilitation performed?
The intervention is performed under general anesthesia. The surgeon separates the uterus and adnexa from the ligaments and blood vessels, after which they are removed through the vagina (in most cases) or through a mini-access.
After the operation, the patient stays in a comfortable ward of our hospital under round-the-clock supervision of medical staff. We ensure that the recovery period is as easy and calm as possible.
Life after surgery
Removal of the uterus with ovaries is a serious step, but it eliminates pain, bleeding, and oncological risks. Our doctors provide full support in the postoperative period, including the selection of hormone replacement therapy (if necessary), to maintain the quality of life, youth, and energy of the woman.
