Description

This video demonstrates a step-by-step total laparoscopic hysterectomy. A hysterectomy is the surgical removal of the uterus. There are many reasons for a hysterectomy, such as fibroids, heavy or irregular menstrual bleeding, prolapse, chronic uterine pain, pelvic inflammatory disease, pre-cancerous conditions, cancer, and endometriosis. Hysterectomy depends on the clinical circumstances. A hysterectomy can be performed using a laparoscope, a thin keyhole camera that allows the surgeon to view the pelvic organs. The laparoscope and other instruments are inserted through small incisions in the skin and then used by the surgeon to remove the uterus. Hysterectomy depends on the clinical circumstances.
