Abdominal Hysterectomy

About Abdominal Hysterectomy

An abdominal hysterectomy is a surgical procedure to remove the uterus through an incision in the lower abdomen. It is commonly recommended for conditions such as large uterine fibroids, chronic pelvic pain, severe endometriosis, abnormal uterine bleeding, uterine prolapse, or certain gynecological cancers when other treatment options are not effective. This approach allows the surgeon a clear view of the pelvic organs, making it suitable for complex cases that require detailed assessment and careful handling.
