Laparoscopic hysterectomy

Hysterectomy is the removal of the uterus, proposed when gynaecological conditions — symptomatic fibroids, bleeding resistant to treatment, adenomyosis, certain lesions of the cervix or endometrium — have a lasting impact on quality of life and medical alternatives have been exhausted. Performed by laparoscopy, the procedure takes place through small abdominal incisions, with the uterus most often extracted through the natural passages. Depending on the situation, the removal may involve the uterus alone or be combined with removal of the fallopian tubes, or even the ovaries, which is always discussed beforehand with the patient. At Clinique Pasteur Tunis, laparoscopic hysterectomy is performed by experienced gynaecological surgeons, in a setting attentive to the patient's comfort and information. The hospital stay is short and the team supports convalescence with clear instructions. The surgical specimen is sent for pathological analysis.
