Closed Uterus Surgery

The uterus, one of the important parts of the female reproductive system, is located in the lower abdomen, in the area surrounded by the pelvic bone. The uterus, which resembles an inverted pear, is made up of smooth muscles and has thick walls. During pregnancy, the uterus, which is the area where the baby is held and completes its development, may need to be removed due to certain diseases. When the specialist physician decides that the most appropriate treatment for the patient’s health is to remove the uterus, a hysterectomy is performed.

It is possible to talk about four types of uterine surgery:

1. Total Hysterectomy: Removal of the uterus along with the cervix.
2. Subtotal Hysterectomy: Removal of the uterus and leaving the cervix.
3. Total Hysterectomy and Salpingo-Oophorectomy : Removal of the uterus, both ovaries and the fallopian tubes.
4. Radical Hysterectomy: Extensive removal of the uterus, including adjacent tissues. It is usually performed in cases of cancer.

In Which Cases Is Hysterectomy Required?

• Myomas that exist in the uterus,
• Uncontrollable, severe, medically resistant bleeding in the uterus,
• Endometriosis is a disease that occurs when the endometrial tissue, known as the lining tissue inside the uterus, grows outside the uterus.
• Adenomyosis is a disease that occurs when endometrial tissue is located in the muscle layer of the uterus.
• Uterine cancer, cervical cancer or ovarian cancer,
• Pelvic inflammatory diseases,
• In the presence of conditions such as uterine prolapse, hysterectomy may be required.

How is Hysterectomy Performed?

Hysterectomy can be performed using three different methods, depending on the specialist’s opinion and the patient’s medical condition;

• Laparotomy hysterectomy, also known as open uterine surgery,
• Vaginal hysterectomy and
• Laparoscopic hysterectomy, also known as closed uterine surgery

Laparotomy hysterectomy is performed by making a horizontal incision in the abdomen, approximately 10 cm in size. The uterus is accessed through an incision similar to the incision made during a cesarean section. Open hysterectomy is not usually preferred because it is a more disadvantageous application for the patient. However, depending on the patient’s medical condition, this method can also be used.

In case of uterine prolapse, vaginal hysterectomy is generally preferred. It is an advantageous application in that there is no incision in the abdomen and it causes less pain in the patient. Since it is a limited area of ​​use, it is generally used in the presence of a prolapse condition called vaginal prolapse.

Closed hysterectomy, also known as laparoscopic hysterectomy, is a preferred method because it is performed without the need for large incisions. After the surgery, the patient’s recovery period is shorter and it provides a more aesthetic application opportunity in terms of scarring.

How is a closed hysterectomy performed?

Laparoscopic hysterectomy surgery is performed while the patient is under general anesthesia. Internal tissues are visualized by making incisions of approximately 1 cm in the navel and the sides of the abdominal cavity. A 10 mm laparoscopic camera and 5 mm high-tech surgical instruments are used during the surgery. These instruments are placed into the abdomen through the incisions and the uterus is removed. In closed hysterectomy, the uterus is usually removed vaginally. The surgery is completed in approximately 1-2 hours, although it varies from patient to patient.

What Should Be Considered After Closed Hysterosalpingography Surgery?

Closed hysterectomy   is much more advantageous than open surgery in terms of low complication risk. The patient’s return to normal life is much shorter in surgeries performed with the laparoscopic method.

• The patient is discharged 24-48 hours after surgery.
• It is not recommended to take a shower for two days after the surgery. You should not go into the bathtub, pool or sea for 40 days.
• After surgery, light vaginal bleeding is considered normal for about 1 month. However, in cases of painful or heavy bleeding, it is recommended to consult a doctor.
• Sexual intercourse is not recommended for 1.5-2 months after surgery. During this period, strenuous physical activities should be avoided and heavy lifting should be avoided.
• When the uterus is removed, the patient’s menstrual cycle stops; there is no menstrual bleeding. However, if only the uterus is removed, the patient does not enter menopause. If the ovaries are removed along with the uterus, menopause can be mentioned.
