Who is this surgery for?
- Symptomatic Uterine Fibroids: To alleviate heavy menstrual bleeding, pelvic pain, or pressure caused by benign tumors.
- Adenomyosis: For severe pain and bleeding when the tissue lining the uterus grows into the muscular wall.
- Chronic Pelvic Pain: When pain is definitively linked to uterine pathology and other treatments have failed.
- Abnormal Uterine Bleeding: For menorrhagia (excessive bleeding) that does not respond to hormonal or other medical management.
- Uterine Prolapse: In select cases where preserving the cervix for support is part of the surgical plan.
- Precancerous Conditions: Such as complex hyperplasia with atypia, when future childbearing is not desired.
How to prepare
- Medical Evaluation: A thorough pre-operative assessment including blood tests, imaging (like ultrasound), and possibly an endometrial biopsy.
- Medication Review: Discuss all current medications with your doctor; you may need to stop blood thinners or certain supplements.
- Bowel Preparation: You may be instructed to follow a clear liquid diet and use a laxative or enema the day before surgery.
- Fasting: No food or drink (including water) for at least 6-8 hours before the scheduled procedure time.
- Smoking Cessation: Stopping smoking several weeks before surgery significantly reduces respiratory and wound healing risks.
- Logistical Planning: Arrange for someone to drive you home after discharge and to assist you for the first few days of recovery.
Risks & possible complications
- General Surgical Risks: Reaction to anesthesia, bleeding (hemorrhage), and infection at the incision sites or internally.
- Organ Injury: Unintended damage to nearby structures such as the bladder, ureters, bowel, or blood vessels, which may require additional repair.
- Conversion to Open Surgery: In some cases, the surgeon may need to convert to an open abdominal hysterectomy due to complications or poor visibility.
- Pelvic Pain or Bleeding: Persistent pain or cyclical bleeding from the retained cervical stump (mini-periods).
- Cervical Stump Pathology: Future risk of cervical cancer, necessitating continued regular Pap smears.
- Deep Vein Thrombosis (DVT): Risk of blood clots in the legs, which can travel to the lungs (pulmonary embolism).
Recovery & hospital stay
- Immediate Post-Op: You will be monitored in a recovery area; pain and nausea are managed with medication. You are encouraged to walk slowly the same day to prevent clots.
- At Home Care: Rest is crucial. Avoid heavy lifting (more than 5-10 kgs), strenuous exercise, and sexual intercourse for 4-6 weeks as advised by your doctor.
- Incision Care: Keep small incision sites clean and dry. Watch for signs of infection like redness, swelling, or discharge.
- Pain Management: Take prescribed pain relievers as directed. Gas pain in the shoulders/chest from the laparoscopy is common and usually resolves in a few days.
- Diet & Bowels: Start with light foods; constipation is common, so drink plenty of fluids and use a stool softener if recommended.
- Follow-Up: Attend all scheduled post-operative appointments to ensure proper healing. Report any fever, severe pain, heavy vaginal bleeding, or foul-smelling discharge immediately.

Arjun Khan, a 42-year-old software engineer...
Arjun Khan, a 42-year-old software engineer and father of two, had been struggling for years with increasingly heavy and painful periods. His family was complete, but his quality of life was deteriorating. He experienced severe cramping, fatigue from anemia, and had to frequently miss work. After trying various medications with little relief, his gynecologist, Dr. Sharma, diagnosed him with multiple large uterine fibroids. Dr. Sharma recommended a laparoscopic supracervical hysterectomy, explaining it would remove the problematic uterus while preserving his cervix and avoiding a more invasive abdominal surgery. Arjun was anxious about surgery but trusted his doctor. The procedure went smoothly, with four small incisions. His recovery at home was manageable with pain medication, and he was walking the next day. Within three weeks, he was back to light work. The constant pain and debilitating bleeding were gone. Emotionally, Arjun felt a profound relief and a renewed sense of control over his life and health, freeing him to be fully present for his family and career without the monthly burden.
