Laparoscopic Or Robotic-assisted Hysterectomy

Laparoscopic Or Robotic-assisted Hysterectomy

Laparoscopic and robotic-assisted hysterectomy is a surgical procedure used for removing women's uterus. It uses a robotic surgical system that causes minimal scarring with little blood loss. This surgical treatment is less invasive than traditional laparoscopic surgery, requiring a patient's shorter hospital stay.

What is the cost of Laparoscopic or Robotic-Assisted Hysterectomy?

The cost of a Laparoscopic Hysterectomy ranges between 150,000 - 250,000 PKR. This cost varies depending on geographic location, and hospital or surgeon's fee. Pre-operative or post-operative care also affects the total cost.  

What diagnosis leads to Laparoscopic or Robotic-Assisted Hysterectomy?

Common diagnoses that lead to laparoscopic or robotic-assisted hysterectomy can be:

  • Uterine tissue lining growing into a muscular wall or adenomyosis

  • Non-cancerous uterine growth or fibroids

  • Uterine prolapse into the vaginal canal 

  • Gynecological cancers such as - endometrial, cervical, or ovarian cancer

  • Uterine lining growing outside the uterus or endometriosis

What is the procedure for Laparoscopic Hysterectomy?

After diagnosing patient's health condition, the surgeon performs a robot-assisted hysterectomy following these steps:

  • To reduce pain during the surgery, the patient is made unconscious with the help of local anesthesia. 

  • Soon after the patient becomes unconscious, incisions are made at points of the lower abdomen using a surgical scalpel. 

  • Through these incisions, a laparoscopic tube or instrument is inserted into the patient’s lower abdomen. 

  • Space is created by pumping carbon dioxide into the abdominal cavity. This will help improve the visibility of the surgeon.

  • A thin tube with an attached camera and light source called a laparoscope is inserted through the abdominal incisions. This instrument will help surgeons view internal organs on a monitor. 

  • Space is created by pumping carbon dioxide into the abdominal cavity. This will help improve the visibility of the surgeon.

  • A thin tube with an attached camera and light source called a laparoscope is inserted through the abdominal incisions. This instrument will help surgeons view internal organs on a monitor. 

  • With the help of surgical instruments, the uterus will be carefully detached from the adjacent blood vessels and tissues.

  • After uterine detachment, the organ is removed from your body from a tiny incision. 

  • The incisions are closed using sutures or staples. After this, the wound is covered with adhesive strips.

What are the risks & complications associated with Robotic-assisted Hysterectomy?

  • Patients may undergo excessive bleeding during or after the surgical treatment. This may need a blood transfusion.

  • Unintentional injury to nearby organs - including the bladder or intestine may occur.

  • After undergoing surgical treatment, the patient is at higher risk of developing deep vein thrombosis. This affects your legs and hampers your movement. 

  • The patient may suffer from a pulmonary embolism that results in abnormal lung functioning.

  • For some time, patients also experience urinary discomfort or painful bowel movements. In rare cases, these complications persist longer.

What to expect after Laparoscopic or Robotic-Assisted Hysterectomy?

After undergoing a Laparoscopic or Robotic-Assisted Hysterectomy, you can expect:

  • Lower abdominal pain and discomfort

  • Pain at the incision site

  • Pressure on the lower abdomen while walking

  • Vaginal discharge or bleeding 

  • Hormonal fluctuation, causing mood swings

The healthcare provider also schedules follow-up appointments to monitor the patient’s recovery.
