Condition Overview & Anatomy
What is this Condition: Total Laparoscopic Hysterectomy (TLH) is the minimally invasive surgical removal of the uterus (and cervix, with or without ovaries/fallopian tubes) performed through tiny keyhole incisions.
Anatomy Involved: Uterus, cervix, fallopian tubes, and ovaries.
When Surgery May Be Considered: Indicated for large symptomatic uterine fibroids, severe adenomyosis, refractory abnormal uterine bleeding (AUB), severe endometriosis, or uterine prolapse unresponsive to medical therapy.
Conservative / Non-Surgical Alternatives: Hormonal therapy, Mirena IUD insertion, tranexamic acid, and uterus-sparing myomectomy (for fibroids) are explored before recommending hysterectomy.

Frequently Asked Questions regarding Total Laparoscopic Hysterectomy (TLH)
How long is the recovery after laparoscopic hysterectomy compared to open surgery?
Laparoscopic hysterectomy allows most patients to return home in 24 to 48 hours and resume light routine activities within 1 to 2 weeks, compared to 6 weeks of rest required after open surgery.
Will I need hormone replacement therapy after hysterectomy?
If your ovaries are preserved during surgery, hormone production continues naturally and hormone replacement therapy is generally not required.
