A total laparoscopic hysterectomy is a minimally invasive surgical procedure used to remove the uterus and cervix through several small incisions across the abdomen. It serves as a definitive treatment for conditions such as painful uterine fibroids, endometriosis, adenomyosis, persistent abnormal uterine bleeding, or pelvic support issues. Compared to traditional open abdominal surgery, performing this procedure laparoscopically significantly reduces tissue trauma and post-operative pain, allowing for a faster, smoother recovery and a quicker return to daily life.
