Laparoscopically Assisted Vaginal Hysterectomy (LAVH) is a minimally invasive surgical procedure used to remove the uterus through the vagina with the assistance of a laparoscope.
LAVH is a surgical procedure used to remove the uterus and sometimes the ovaries and fallopian tubes. It combines two approaches:
LAVH uses small incisions in the abdomen, resulting in less pain, minimal scarring, and a quicker recovery compared to traditional abdominal hysterectomy.
The laparoscopic component allows the surgeon to visualize the pelvic organs in great detail, reducing the risk of injury to nearby structures, such as the bladder or bowel.
Most patients can return to normal activities within 2 to 4 weeks after LAVH, compared to 6 to 8 weeks for traditional open hysterectomy.
Patients undergoing LAVH usually stay in the hospital for 1 to 2 days, while traditional open surgery may require a 3 to 5-day hospital stay.
LAVH typically results in less blood loss, a reduced risk of infection, and fewer post-operative complications.
Although rare, infections can occur at the incision sites or in the pelvic area. Antibiotics may be prescribed to prevent or treat infections.
Some bleeding is expected after surgery, but excessive or prolonged bleeding may require additional treatment.
The laparoscopic instruments allow for precise surgery, but in rare cases, nearby organs such as the bladder, bowel, or blood vessels may be injured during the procedure.
At TAH Global Healthcare, we take every precaution to minimise these risks by employing the latest surgical techniques and providing personalised care for each patient.
Noncancerous growths in the uterus that can cause heavy menstrual bleeding, pelvic pain, or pressure.
A condition where the tissue that normally lines the inside of the uterus grows outside of it, leading to pain and infertility.
Persistent heavy or irregular bleeding that cannot be managed with medication or less invasive treatments.
A condition in which the uterus or other pelvic organs drop into the vaginal canal due to weakened support structures.
Mild pain or cramping is common after surgery, particularly around the incision sites. Pain medication may be prescribed to manage discomfort during the first few days.
Patients should avoid heavy lifting, strenuous activities, or exercise for at least 2 to 4 weeks after surgery. Walking and light activities are encouraged to promote circulation and prevent blood clots.
It is normal to experience light vaginal bleeding or discharge for a few days to weeks after surgery. Patients should avoid using tampons or douches during this time and opt for sanitary pads instead.
The abdominal incision sites should be kept clean and dry to prevent infection. Patients should follow their surgeon’s instructions regarding showering and wound care.
A follow-up visit is typically scheduled 1 to 2 weeks after surgery to monitor healing and remove any stitches, if necessary.
After LAVH, most women experience significant relief from symptoms such as heavy bleeding, pelvic pain, or fibroid-related discomfort. To maintain long-term health, it is important for patients to attend regular check-ups with a gynaecologist to monitor reproductive health and ensure no complications arise. If the ovaries are removed during the procedure, women may experience menopause symptoms like hot flashes, mood swings, or vaginal dryness, which can be managed with hormone replacement therapy (HRT).
Additionally, maintaining a healthy lifestyle with a balanced diet, regular exercise, and adequate hydration is key to supporting overall well-being and aiding in recovery.
