Laparoscopically assisted vaginal hysterectomy or LAVH, is a surgical procedure performed to remove the uterus through small incisions. It is typically recommended when a woman has conditions such as endometriosis, adenomyosis, or uterine fibroids. These conditions can cause significant pain, heavy bleeding, and other complications.
LAVH involves the removal of the uterus, along with the cervix, through the vagina, with the assistance of a laparoscope. The laparoscope allows the surgeon to visualize the pelvic organs and manipulate surgical instruments with precision.
The reproductive organs involved in LAVH include the uterus, cervix, fallopian tubes, and ovaries. By removing these organs, LAVH can help alleviate symptoms and improve quality of life.
Endometriosis is a condition where the tissue that lines the uterus grows outside of the organ.
Adenomyosis is a condition where the tissue that lines the uterus infiltrates into the uterine muscle.
Fibroids are noncancerous growths that develop in or on the uterus.
The endometrium is the inner lining of the uterus, while the cervix is the lower part of the uterus that connects to the vagina.
Laparoscopy is used in LAVH to visualize the pelvic organs and guide the surgical instruments.
Treatment options for conditions that may require LAVH include medication, hormonal therapy, and surgery. Diagnostic tests such as ultrasounds and MRI scans may be used to identify the underlying condition. During LAVH, small incisions are made in the abdomen and the laparoscope is inserted to view the pelvic organs.
There are certain risk factors associated with LAVH, such as bleeding, infection, and injury to surrounding organs. After the operation, it is important to follow post-operative instructions, take prescribed medication, and attend follow-up appointments. Resuming sexual activity and a healthy life post-operation will vary depending on individual healing and recovery.
