Who can undergo laparoscopic hysterectomy?
Usually all the patients who have been advised for conventional hysterectomy can undergo laparoscopic hysterectomy, provided the size of uterus is not very big (that is bigger than 20 cm). A person with diabetes or hypertension can also undergo this procedure after the conditions are under control, and in fact the advantages of lesser chances of infection and early recovery are very beneficial for them. A patient who has undergone operations in the past can also undergo this procedure and if there are adhesions because of previous operations, they can be removed along with the laparoscopic hysterectomy, in the same sitting. It is also possible to treat or remove the ovaries and tubes while carrying out laparoscopic hysterectomy.
