What Is Laparoscopic Hysterectomy?

Laparoscopic hysterectomy is a minimally invasive surgery to remove the uterus through small abdominal incisions using a camera and specialised surgical instruments. Depending on the patient's condition, the doctor may recommend removal of the uterus alone or also the cervix, fallopian tubes or ovaries.

The need for surgery and the appropriate approach depend on the underlying condition, such as fibroids, heavy bleeding, uterine prolapse, endometriosis or other gynaecological problems.
