hysterectomy procedure laparoscopic

I am scheduled for a laparoscopic supracervical hysterectomy in 4 days. I started my period and will be on the light days at the end by the time i have surgery. Is this a contraindication for proceeding with the surgery or can this procedure occur at any time during the menstrual cycle?

Hi. I am having laparoscopic hysterectomy with ovary removel.(Brca gene) I have a one year old baby. I was told I can't pick up anything over 10pounds. No yoga or anything either . For 4 weeeks. Wow is this really true?? Is there a procedure with better post op recovery?

Hi everyone. Recently I was diagnosed with endocervical adenocarcinoma in situ (AIS). I had a leep procedure and that's how it was discovered. I'm now scheduled to have a laparoscopic hysterectomy. I get to keep my ovaries. I'm 31, no children and I don't want any so that's not a problem for me. But I'm still struggling. I'm scared to have the hysterectomy because the recovery process seems so long and painful and one of my biggest fears is pain.

Has anyone ever had a hysterectomy that started out laparoscopic then went to abdominal? Do you have any advice for recovery ? Tips? Heads up?

If I still need to do some that it will be a laparoscopic hysterectomy recovery time is 2 weeks versus abdominal hysterectomy 8-10 weeks recovery time. God Bless you both and anyone else that's going through this!

s a light at the end of this tunnel. I had an abdominal hysterectomy in 06 due to fibroid tumors, only left ovaries. Then March 08 had my gallbladder removed. So this is number three and hopefuuly the last. I dread waking up after surgery it's always the worst for me. Wish me luck the patholigists find NOTHING abnormal.

my doctor has recommended laparoscopic hysterectomy. I had the uterine ablation procedure done 3 1/2 yrs ago but the irregular cycles and severe pain have returned. My doctor stated he would removed my right ovary for sure, as it is covered in scar tissue and causes a lot of pain. The question is should I keep my left ovary or not? I suffer from menstrual migraines and they have gotten worse over the past 3 -6 months. I'm thinking maybe take them both out and go on HRT.

He has suggested a partial hysterectomy to remove the uterus and then repair the bladder and rectal area. My concern is leaving the ovaries and fallopian tubes to futher increase the chances of ovarian cancer. I have also have had a history of abnormal pap smears.What do I need to be concerned about?

It's so hard to say what may happen. They may want to do a laparoscopic procedure to get a good look at what is there. If it's nothing serious, they may not do anything at all. They may decide to remove only the cyst. They may decide to remove the ovary and the cyst. If they're concerned, maybe they will do a hysterectomy. We have all been through these surgeries. They are well worth the trouble and recovery to be healthy! Best of luck to you.

4 days later, (and throughout an entire weekend, in pain) I was at home, thinking that I was having some residual pain from the laparoscopic procedure... I called my doctor and told him that I was having issues breathing and that I felt very weak, and was in intense pain. I was seen about an hour later, and he discovered a large "clot" in my abdomen.

), uterus, cervix, and fallopian tubes. The procedure he used was called lavh, laparoscopic assisted vaginal hysterectomy. I feel a lot better for it though. For me, I have a family history cervical and uterine cancer, which why the gynecologist took out everything. From what I understand though, there are other cancers us women can get. One would be cancer of the vulva and the other would be cancer of the vagina. That's all I know.

Please have her consider a laparoscopic procedure to resuspend the uterus to the ligaments (called a laparoscopic colpopexy). This is a procedure that can reattach the uterine ligaments using sutures, and can replace the vagina into a position resembling normal. She gets to keep her uterus, and can have pregnancies in the future, but I would recommend cesarean delivery to prevent further insult to the ligaments.

I had a ovarian cystectomy in 1986, total abdominal hysterectomy in 1994, bilateral salipingoophrectomy and ovarian cysts removed in 2005. This year I had a CAT scan for another medical issue and it was discovered that I had masses both right and left adenxal area. I went to the Cancer Institute of NJ for a consultation with a GYN/Oncologist. After numerous tests including MRI, Ultrasounds, CA-125 (negative) and I had lab work done which indicated I was premenopausal.

Hi - I will have a total hysterectomy anterior/posterior; rectocele and cystocele in less than ten days. What does all this mean, how long will I be in the hospital, and how long will recovery take, approximately? I know we're all different and circumstances will dictate the exact amounts, but if you have had these three procedures will you please share your story? What was it like before, and after? Tips and suggestions will be greatly appreciated! Thanks for sharing!

I have had endometriosis since the age of 12, am now 42 yo. I had bso hysterectomy last July. My dr. believes a little bit of endo remains behind my cervix (kept that). My dr. would like me to take 3 mos. of lupron to suppress any remaining endo. Is this safe to do after bso hysterectomy?

I am 5 days post total laparoscopic hysterectomy with endo excision. I'm sore in the areaz where the endo was removed. the this soreness is minimal compared to how i felt before surgery. I'm also a member on a hysterectomy website where we compare progress notes of others who have had hysterectomies during the same wk, I seem to be on target. But I hear excision causes a lot of soreness...

I am 2 weeks post op....hysterectomy...I am experiencing severe left sided low back pain... Could this be related to the surgery?

My doctor suggests that I get a hysterectomy. I do not want to try any medications because I feel that they will only mask the problem and eventually I will have to deal with it. I have two children, and don't plan on having additional children. My doctor suggested performing the hysterectomy laparoscopically to avoid opening me up again. She will remove the endometriosis through coagulation. Do you think that these two methods are the appropriate treatment?

My daughter has Endo and also reoccurring cysts, she is 22 and has had 11 surgeries. They have now removed her left ovary on Nov. 5th and she already has a large painful cyst on her right ovary. She is getting a cyst every 45-60 days and are so painful she is throwing up and can't walk. The doctors have tried every hormonal option. Any suggestions? They don't want to do a hysterectomy at her age.

Like spreading my legs part is not comfortable to do. Why do I feel any pressure an pain down there I thought laparoscopic hysterectomy meant we did not touch my vagina? And if it is normal, it has been almost 3 months now why is the discomfort still there anyway?

There are other reasons not to have a hysterectomy beyond not wanting any more children. These organs do play a part in your total health and you don't want to part with them unless necessary, especially at your age. I'm surprised you have to wait so long for your results. Usually it is only a few days. Do ask your doctor for something to help with the pain. You don't need to live with this.

I saw my obgyn today and was told in order to relieve my menstrual cramping the next step would be a laparoscopic hysterectomy. I had an oblation 2 years ago and it wasn't helping anymore. I was wondering if i will still get my period, he said he would be leaving my ovaries in.

By the way, if the cyst is benign, you could be a candidate for a supracervical laparoscopic hysterectomy, or a laparoscopic assisted vaginal hysterectomy with removal of ovary(s). I'm sure that you don't want more surgery, but you even more don't want more cancer! Good luck!

I am 3 weeks post laparoscopic total hysterectomy. I was grateful to find that there are others feeling the same things as I am. I was very surprised at how much I'm NOT able to do. I recommend finding many things to do laying down and get friends & family till help around the house, so you don't over do it. I've felt muscle pain in my abdomen, feels like a charlie horse even.

A small fibroid is not a reason to get a hysterectomy, either. Endometriosis can be treated by laparoscopic surgery, but it is to remove the endometriosis, not the uterus. Are you sure your doctor wanted you to have a hysterectomy? Here is a link that describes endometriosis. www.ncbi.nlm.nih.

m not sure what which procedure the doctor is going to use to perform. I had mine via LAVH, Laparoscopic Assisted Vaginal Hysterectomy. I really hurt for a solid week. But after that, I started feeling sore but okay. I feel good now. I do have days where I'll see a little baby, like newborn, and I'll feel a knot rise up in my gut. It's like seeing the baby is a solid reminder, total slap in the face, that I'll never, ever have another baby for the rest of my life.

I have recently been told by OBGYN, that they found a large mass on my right ovary and will need a Hysterectomy, with the removal of ovary and falipen tubes, they also ordered a CA-125 test to be done. about 7 mths ago, I had a papsmear done, and she found a lump the size of an orange in the same place, she didnt make a big deal out of it, so I thought it was fine, then about two months later, I had an ultrasound done, again they didnt make a big deal out the cyst or whatever they found.

Hi! Lots of good questions. My response may be a bit slanted by the fact that I have personally had a pre-malignant polyp removed from my uterus. As you are probably aware, these polyps may be caused by chronic high estrogen levels in the body. The problem with polyps is that because the circulation to them is poor, they are not subject to the same careful cancer surveillance by the body's immune system as normal tissues, and are therefore more apt to develop malignancy.
