Procedure of Hysterectomy at Dr. Seckin's Obstetricians & Gynecologists

The Importance of Hysterectomy in Gynecology

Hysterectomy is a surgical procedure that involves the removal of the uterus from a woman's body. It is a treatment option recommended by the highly skilled doctors at Dr. Seckin's Obstetricians & Gynecologists to address various gynecological conditions and improve the overall health and well-being of patients.

Understanding the Procedure

The procedure of hysterectomy is performed under general anesthesia by our skilled team of doctors specializing in obstetrics and gynecology. The surgery can be carried out through different techniques, including:

Laparoscopic Hysterectomy

In this minimally invasive procedure, small incisions are made in the abdomen to insert a laparoscope and surgical instruments. The doctor then removes the uterus using these instruments, ensuring precision and minimal scarring. Laparoscopic hysterectomy offers many benefits, such as reduced post-operative pain and faster recovery times compared to traditional open surgery.

Vaginal Hysterectomy

This procedure involves removing the uterus through the vagina, without any external incisions. Vaginal hysterectomy is commonly used when the uterus is not significantly enlarged and there are no other complicating factors. It offers the advantage of no external scars and a shorter hospital stay.

Robotic-Assisted Hysterectomy

At Dr. Seckin's Obstetricians & Gynecologists, we utilize advanced robotic technology to enhance the precision and dexterity of hysterectomy procedures. The surgeon controls robotic arms equipped with specialized instruments, allowing for precise movements and improved visualization. Robotic-assisted hysterectomy offers increased surgical precision, shorter recovery times, and less scarring.

Conditions Treated with Hysterectomy

Hysterectomy is recommended by our skilled doctors at Dr. Seckin's Obstetricians & Gynecologists to treat various gynecological conditions, including:

• Fibroids: Noncancerous growths in the uterus that can cause pain, heavy bleeding, and other discomforts.
• Endometriosis: A condition where uterine tissue grows outside the uterus, causing pain and infertility.
• Uterine Prolapse: The weakening of pelvic floor muscles, leading to the descent of the uterus into the vaginal canal.
• Abnormal Uterine Bleeding: Excessive or irregular bleeding that may be caused by hormonal imbalances, polyps, or other underlying conditions.
• Adenomyosis: A condition where the uterine lining grows into the muscular wall, leading to pain and heavy bleeding.
• Gynecologic Cancer: In cases of cancer of the uterus, cervix, or ovaries, hysterectomy may be recommended as part of the treatment plan.
