Total Laparoscopic Hysterectomy

Advanced Minimally Invasive Uterus Removal

Total Laparoscopic Hysterectomy (TLH) is a modern, minimally invasive surgical procedure used to remove the uterus. Unlike traditional abdominal hysterectomy, which requires a large incision, TLH is performed through tiny "keyhole" incisions using a laparoscope (a thin, lighted tube with a camera). At Divine Care, our expert gynaecologists specialize in this advanced technique to ensure a safer procedure and a much faster recovery for our patients.

When is TLH Recommended?

Your doctor might recommend a laparoscopic hysterectomy for several reasons, including:

• Severe, uncontrollable pelvic pain
• Large or symptomatic uterine fibroids
• Endometriosis that hasn't responded to other treatments
• Abnormal or heavy uterine bleeding
• Certain gynaecological cancers or pre-cancers

Benefits of our Laparoscopic Approach

Choosing TLH over traditional open surgery offers numerous significant advantages:

• Less Pain: Smaller incisions mean significantly less postoperative pain and a reduced need for pain medication.
• Faster Recovery: Most patients return to their normal daily activities within 2 to 3 weeks, compared to 6 to 8 weeks for open surgery.
• Shorter Hospital Stay: Patients often go home the same day or the day after the surgery.
• Minimal Scarring: The tiny incisions heal with barely visible scars.
• Lower Risk of Infection: Smaller wounds reduce the likelihood of postoperative infections.
