5 things to keep in mind before getting Hysterectomy

February 13, 2024

Undergoing a surgery is not an easy decision and requires one to be well-prepared. One of these major surgeries that require you to prepare yourself is that of hysterectomy. You may need to undergo this surgery if you are suffering from endometriosis, fibroids, or cancer. Your surgeon may remove your ovaries as well as fallopian tubes during a hysterectomy surgery. Post-hysterectomy, a woman will neither have her menstrual cycle nor will she ever get pregnant. No doubt, this is one of the most common surgeries that a woman may undergo. Here are a few things that you must consider before undergoing hysterectomy surgery.

Robotic hysterectomy: An alternative

You may consider undergoing robotic hysterectomy over the traditional surgery as it has umpteen benefits. Robotic-assisted hysterectomy, the use of computers for controlling the instruments brings precision. Here are a few benefits of robotic hysterectomy that you might experience in comparison to traditional surgery. 

Completely Scarless

The foremost benefit of robotic-assisted hysterectomy is that it is completely scarless. The surgery requires no to minimal, small incisions which reduces the chances of having a scar after the surgery. The use of robotic arms eliminates the need to make bigger incisions while also allowing better view of organs. 

 

Safer surgical option

Traditional surgeries come with their own set of risks and complications that don’t exist with robotic hysterectomy. Because of the use of the computer for the surgery, one might experience fewer complications after the surgery. 

 

Quick recovery

Traditional surgeries involve big, long incisions to view the area to be operated and to treat the same. However, the use of the remote for robotic-assisted hysterectomy helps in avoiding big incisions for the surgery. Consequently, the healing is faster and one experiences a quick recovery. 

Lesser pain

Another benefit of robotic hysterectomy is there is minimal blood loss and barely the need for transfusion. When compared with traditional surgery, robotic hysterectomy causes much less pain. 

Greater precision 

The robotic arms used in robotic hysterectomy offer enhanced dexterity to perform complex surgeries with ease. While the surgeon gets greater visualisation, the procedure also offers great precision. Furthermore, this ensures it will take less time for the surgery and your hospital stay is comparatively shorter.
