تعريف

Hysterectomy is the surgical term for the removal of the uterus (womb). This results in the inability to become pregnant.

There are different types of surgeries, such as:

  • Supracervical hysterectomy—removal of the uterus only
  • Total hysterectomy—removal of the uterus and cervix (the opening of the uterus leading to the vagina)
  • Radical hysterectomy—removal of the uterus, ovaries, fallopian tubes, upper part of the vagina, and the pelvic lymph nodes
  • Salpingo-oophorectomy —removal of the ovaries and fallopian tubes (may be combined with any of the above procedures)

أسباب هذا الإجراء

You may have a hysterectomy if your uterus is causing health problems that cannot be treated by other means. Some reasons a woman may have a hysterectomy are to:

  • Treat cancers (eg, uterine, endometrial, ovarian cancers)
  • Remove uterine fibroids
  • Treat chronic pelvic pain
  • Treat heavy bleeding

Explore your options before having a hysterectomy. There are other treatments for many of these problems.

  • اختبارات الدم والبول
  • Pap smear
  • X-ray of abdomen and kidneys—a test that uses radiation to take a picture of structures inside the body
  • Pelvic ultrasound —a test that uses sound waves to show organs in the abdomen
  • Dilation and curettage (D&C)—surgical removal of tissue from the lining of the uterus

You should do the following:

  • التحدث مع طبيبك عن الأدوية الخاصة بك. قد يطلب منك التوقف عن تناول بعض الأدوية تصل إلى أسبوع واحد قبل العملية مثل:
    • الأسبرين أو غيره من العقاقير المضادة للالتهابات

وصف الإجراء

You may be given antibiotics just before your surgery.

Laparoscopic procedures are minimally invasive. This means that small incisions are made, rather than the large incisions that are used during جراحة مفتوحة.

Supracervical Hysterectomy

During this procedure, the doctor will make small incisions in the area of your navel and hip bone. A laparoscope (a small tool with a camera on one end) will be inserted through one of the incisions. The tool will allow the doctor to view your pelvic organs on a monitor. Other tools will also be inserted to do the surgery. Next, the doctor will detach the uterus from the cervix. A tool will be used to break down the uterus into smaller pieces. The doctor will then remove this tissue through the small incisions.

Laparoscopic-Assisted Vaginal Hysterectomy

Similar to the above surgery, the doctor will make small incisions in the abdominal area and insert tools. The doctor will then make an incision in the vagina to help detach the lower portion of the cervix and the uterus. The cervix and uterus will then be removed through the vaginal opening.

Robot-Assisted Hysterectomy

A hysterectomy can also be done using robotic technology. Like the laparoscopic procedures, tools are placed through small incisions in the abdominal area. The doctor, though, sits at a console and views the organs via a monitor that displays a 3D image. The surgery is done using a joystick-like device to control the tools.

مباشرة بعد الإجراء

You will be given IV fluids and medicines.

كم من الوقت سيستغرق ؟

هل سيكون هناك ألم؟

You will not have pain during the surgery because of the anesthesia. During your recovery time, your doctor will give you pain medicine.
