Total Laparoscopic Hysterectomy (TLH) is a modern, minimally invasive surgery to remove the uterus for conditions like fibroids, heavy periods, endometriosis, or early-stage cancer. TLH is increasingly chosen by women in Patna, Bihar Sharif, and across Bihar for faster recovery, minimal pain, and better cosmetic results.
Why TLH Surgery?
Common Reasons: Uterine fibroids, adenomyosis, severe bleeding, endometriosis, early-stage gynecological cancer, or pelvic pain.
Who needs TLH? Patients suffering from prolonged bleeding, pain, or non-cancerous growths unresponsive to medicine.
Step-by-Step TLH Procedure
Pre-Op Preparation
Medical assessment, blood tests, and anesthesia review.
Fasting prior to operation day.
Anesthesia & Positioning
Performed under general anesthesia with legs supported for access to the pelvic region.
Small Incisions & Instrument Placement
3–4 tiny cuts (about 1 cm each) on the abdomen.
Laparoscope (camera) and thin surgical instruments inserted for visual guidance.
Uterus Detachment
Surgeon gently detaches the uterus from surrounding tissues.
Ovaries and tubes may be removed as needed.
Uterus Removal
Uterus/target tissue is removed vaginally or through a small abdominal incision.
Closure
Small incisions stitched with dissolvable sutures.
Patient spends about 1–2 days in hospital for recovery.
