Laparoscopic Supracervical Hysterectomy
A laparoscopic supracervical hysterectomy (LSH) is a minimally invasive surgical procedure to remove the uterus while leaving the cervix intact. It is performed using small incisions in the abdomen using a laparoscope.
➔The procedure involves making small incisions in the abdomen, through which a laparoscope (a thin tube with a camera) and surgical instruments are inserted.
➔The main body of the uterus is removed, while the cervix and ovaries are left in place.
Advantages
➔Minimally invasive: Smaller incisions lead to less pain, a shorter hospital stay, and a reduced risk of infection.
➔Cervix preservation: Leaving the cervix in place can help maintain pelvic support and may preserve sexual function.
➔Reduced operative time and blood loss: Compared to a total laparoscopic hysterectomy, the operative time and blood loss can be less.
