Hysterectomy is an operation in which a woman’s uterus is removed. The cause may be cancer, endometriosis, myoma, etc. Diseases. By the method of operation, it will be called either abdominal (at the same time, the uterus is removed through the incision in the abdominal wall), or vaginal – here it is clear that the operation will be carried out through the vagina.
Laparoscopic hysterectomy got its name from the Laparoscope tool, which is used by surgeons in order to look inside the abdominal cavity. Usually the tool is inserted through the incision on the patient’s body. However, the size of this section is extremely small. Using the optical tube of the laparoscope, the doctor sees the organ and uses other tools to remove it.

It is also significant that the scars after recovery do not look nightmare – this is an important moment.
