. With the help
of slender laparoscopic cameras and instruments this state of the art procedure
is possible.
Laparoscopic supracervical hysterectomy surgery is performed under general
anesthesia. An instrument is initially placed in the uterus through the vagina
which will allow us to move the uterus around for better visualization. With the
help of the specialized instruments the abdominal cavity is filled with CO2 gas,
which is safe for the patients.
Thereafter, the laparoscopic supracervical hysterectomy cameras and
instruments are introduced into the abdominal cavity. With the help of sharp and
blunt dissection and specific coagulation instruments, the tissues will be
released from their blood supply. Once the major uterine blood supplies have
been cut off, the uterus will be separated from the cervical stump. The cervical
opening will be coagulated, to avoid future bleeding.
Additional sutures are placed on and around the cervical stump to improve the
support structures of the pelvis and avoid future prolapse. Thereafter, the
uterus with or without the tubes and ovaries will be extracted through the small
incisions via an instrument which allows the doctors to morcellate or cut up the
tissues in small pieces. All the tissues from the hysterectomy
