Best Gynecologists for Adenomyosis Treatment in Avadi

Hysterectomy for adenomyosis can be performed through both open-cut and laparoscopic methods.

• Abdominal/ Open cut Hysterectomy: Here, your gynecologist makes an open-cut incision in your lower abdomen and manually removes the uterus. The site is then closed with self-dissolving sutures and substantial recovery can be expected in 5-6 weeks.
• Total Laparoscopic Hysterectomy (TLH): Here, the uterus removal is performed using an advanced medical tool- a laparoscope, that is, a tiny, specialized catheter with a camera and light on its end.

First, your gynecologist makes 4-5 keyhole-sized ports in your lower abdomen and inserts a laparoscope. The laparoscope gives a magnified view of the otherwise smaller and narrower organs. It thus helps your surgeon achieve more precision with better clarity. The uterus and its supporting organs are then separated using ultrasonic energy to minimize blood loss. Once separated, the uterus is removed through the vaginal route. While most of the laparoscopic keyholes (lesser than half an inch) heal by themselves, the one keyhole larger than 1 cm is closed with a suture. Few sutures are also made at the birth canal route. However, they are very few in comparison to abdominal hysterectomy, and recovery can be expected within 1-2 weeks.
