Overview of Total Abdominal Hysterectomy SurgeryÂ
Total Abdominal Hysterectomy (TAH) is a surgical procedure in which the uterus is removed through an incision in the lower abdomen. This type of hysterectomy may also involve the removal of the cervix, fallopian tubes, and ovaries, depending on the patient’s condition and the surgeon’s recommendations. TAH is often performed to treat conditions such as uterine fibroids, endometriosis, pelvic inflammatory disease, or certain cancers.
Types of Abdominal Hysterectomy
Total Abdominal Hysterectomy (TAH): Removes the entire uterus and cervix, commonly used for conditions like fibroids or cancer.
Subtotal (Partial) Abdominal Hysterectomy: Removes only the upper part of the uterus, leaving the cervix intact; often used to treat fibroids or noncancerous conditions like endometriosis.
Radical Abdominal Hysterectomy: Involves removal of the uterus, cervix, part of the vagina, and surrounding tissues (ovaries, fallopian tubes, lymph glands), primarily to treat certain cancers.
Total Abdominal Hysterectomy (TAH): Pre-Op & Post-Op Care
Preparation: Before TAH surgery, a comprehensive medical evaluation, blood tests, and imaging studies are done to assess overall health and determine the surgical requirements. Instructions are given by the surgeon to fast, typically starting the night before the surgery.Â
During the Procedure: General anaesthesia is administered prior to surgery. The incision may be made either vertically or horizontally. A horizontal incision is made in your lower abdomen along the pubic hair, or bikini, line. A vertical incision is made above or below your belly button, then down to right above the pubic bone. The surgeon will remove your uterus, cervix, ovaries, and/or fallopian tubes from this incision.
Post-Procedure Care: Following TAH procedure, the patient is asked to remain in the hospital for 2 days. A complete recovery can take about 6 weeks. It is normal to have vaginal bleeding and discharge for 1 to 2 weeks after surgery. The discharge and bleeding should gradually decrease. For 6 weeks after surgery, strenuous exercise, lifting heavy objects, and sexual activity should be avoided.

Frequently Asked Questions about Abdominal Hysterectomy
A total abdominal hysterectomy procedure offers relief from chronic pain, heavy bleeding, and other symptoms that are caused by diseases like uterine fibroids, endometriosis, and other gynaecological conditions. This procedure is also done as a preventive measure, minimising the risk of uterine and ovarian cancer.Â
In a total abdominal hysterectomy (TAH) operation, both the uterus and cervix are removed, which stops the menstrual cycle and eliminates the ability to become pregnant. If the ovaries are also removed during the procedure, hormonal levels can drastically decline. This sudden change in hormone levels may lead to common bodily changes such as decreased energy levels, mood swings, and changes in bone health.
Abdominal hysterectomy is a surgery to remove the uterus and cervix through the incision done in the abdomen. The patient is required to stay longer in the hospital if the surgery is performed by open method. In the case of robotic and laparoscopic procedures, the recovery time and time taken to return to routine are greatly reduced.
An abdominal hysterectomy procedure is often necessary for treating conditions such as large uterine fibroids, severe endometriosis, chronic pelvic pain, heavy menstrual bleeding, or cancer of the uterus, cervix, or ovaries when other treatment options are proved ineffective.
performed by experienced surgeons in a well-equipped facility. While rare, some post-surgical complications such as bleeding, delayed healing, and slow recovery at the incision site can occur. However, these issues are generally manageable with appropriate care.
A laparoscopic total abdominal hysterectomy is a minimally invasive surgery that uses small incisions and a camera to guide the removal of the uterus and cervix through the abdomen. The whole uterus or womb (and sometimes the fallopian tubes and ovaries) is removed via four small incisions or cuts in the abdomen during laparoscopic hysterectomy, also known as “keyhole surgery.”
The indications for a total abdominal hysterectomy include conditions such as large uterine fibroids, severe endometriosis, chronic pelvic pain, abnormal bleeding, uterine prolapse, and certain gynaecologic cancers.Â
Recovery after a total abdominal hysterectomy involves a hospital stay of 2-3 days and several weeks of rest at home. Full recovery usually takes about 6–8 weeks, during which patients are advised to avoid heavy lifting, strenuous activities, and sexual intercourse.Â
