Lap Assisted Vaginal Hysterectomy (LAVH): Advanced Care at Meerut Gynaecologist
What Is Lap Assisted Vaginal Hysterectomy (LAVH)?
Laparoscopic Assisted Vaginal Hysterectomy (LAVH) is a minimally invasive surgical procedure that combines laparoscopy and vaginal surgery to remove the uterus. This advanced approach is often recommended for women with conditions such as fibroids, endometriosis, abnormal uterine bleeding, or uterine prolapse. LAVH allows for smaller incisions, reduced pain, faster recovery, and better cosmetic outcomes compared to traditional open hysterectomy.
How Is Lap Assisted Vaginal Hysterectomy Performed?
The procedure begins with a laparoscopic approach, where small incisions are made in the abdomen to insert a camera and surgical instruments. The laparoscope helps the surgeon visualize and detach the uterus from the surrounding structures. The uterus is then removed vaginally, completing the surgery. LAVH is performed under general anesthesia and typically takes 2–3 hours.
Who Needs Lap Assisted Vaginal Hysterectomy?
LAVH is recommended for:
- Women with symptomatic uterine fibroids or adenomyosis.
- Chronic pelvic pain due to endometriosis or pelvic adhesions.
- Heavy or irregular menstrual bleeding unresponsive to medical treatments.
- Uterine prolapse affecting quality of life.
- Early-stage gynecological cancers requiring uterine removal.
Pre-Op and Post-Op Requirements
Pre-Op Preparation:
- Detailed pre-surgical evaluation, including imaging tests and blood work.
- Discontinuing certain medications, such as blood thinners, as advised.
- Fasting for 6–8 hours prior to the surgery.
Post-Op Care:
- Pain management with prescribed medications.
- Avoiding heavy lifting and strenuous activities for 4–6 weeks.
- Regular follow-up visits to monitor recovery and healing.
- Resuming normal activities gradually, based on the doctor’s advice.
