Patient Testimonial for Total Laparoscopic Hysterectomy

Total Laparoscopic Hysterectomy (TLH) is an operation that removes the uterus (womb) and cervix using a small operating telescope called a laparoscope. The laparoscope is inserted through a small incision in the abdominal wall to examine the pelvis/abdomen. The uterus and cervix are removed without a hysterectomy.

TLH is major surgery and recovery typically takes 2-4 weeks. Some patients will be discharged the same day as their surgery, while others may stay in the hospital for one night before being discharged the next day. Following a TLH, women can expect pain relief and correction of abnormal uterine bleeding.
