Hysterectomy at the Helyos Surgery and Rehabilitation Center

Hysterectomy is a surgical procedure that involves the removal of the uterus. It is one of the most common gynecological surgeries, performed for various reasons, such as uterine cancer, fibroids, endometriosis, or other serious medical conditions. At the Helyos Surgery and Rehabilitation Center, this procedure is performed using advanced medical technologies and approaches to ensure maximum comfort and safety for patients.

Indications for Hysterectomy:

Uterine, cervical, or ovarian cancer: Hysterectomy is a primary treatment method for women with malignant conditions of the uterus.
Uterine fibroids: Large or multiple fibroids that cause pain, heavy bleeding, or other complications.
Endometriosis: Severe cases affecting the uterus or other pelvic organs when other treatments are ineffective.
Abnormal bleeding: Chronic, heavy, or uncontrollable menstrual bleeding that does not respond to medication.
Uterine prolapse: When the uterus descends from its normal position in the pelvis.
Chronic pelvic pain: When other treatments fail to relieve persistent pain or discomfort.

Preoperative Preparation:

1.Medical Consultation:

In-depth examination (pelvic ultrasound) to assess the condition of the uterus and surrounding organs.

3.Specialist Consultations:

If needed, the patient may consult with a general physician or cardiologist to assess overall health.

4.Bowel Preparation:

How the Surgery is Performed:

1.Types of Hysterectomy:

Abdominal hysterectomy: Removal of the uterus through an incision in the lower abdomen, commonly used for large uteri or complex cases.
Vaginal hysterectomy: Removal of the uterus through the vagina, used when there are no large tumors and the uterus is not significantly enlarged.
Laparoscopic hysterectomy: A minimally invasive method using small incisions and a laparoscope for surgical correction.

The procedure typically lasts from 1 to 3 hours, depending on the type of surgery and complexity. General anesthesia is used to ensure the patient does not experience any pain.

2.Postoperative Period:

Hospital stay: Patients remain under medical supervision for several days after surgery.
Rehabilitation: Following medical recommendations is crucial for recovery, including avoiding heavy physical activity, monitoring the healing process, and managing hormonal changes if necessary.
Recovery of functions: Vaginal or laparoscopic hysterectomy may allow for a faster recovery compared to traditional abdominal surgery.

Advantages of Hysterectomy at Helyos:

Personalized approach: The choice of surgical method is tailored to the patient’s condition and diagnosis.
Modern equipment: Procedures are performed using advanced technology to minimize complications and speed up recovery.
Professional team: Highly qualified surgeons and medical staff ensure a high level of safety and effectiveness.
