Difference between laparoscopic, abdominal, and vaginal hysterectomy ?
1 month ago
I have multiple fibroids and my doctor recommended a hysterectomy as the best long-term solution. But I’m confused between laparoscopic, abdominal, and vaginal removal. Which surgery is considered safest and most effective for uterus removal, especially for women who want faster recovery?

For women with multiple fibroids, a hysterectomy can be done via laparoscopic (keyhole), abdominal (open), or vaginal approaches, and the choice depends on fibroid size, location, and your overall health.
Laparoscopic hysterectomy is generally considered the safest and most effective for faster recovery it involves small incisions, less pain, shorter hospital stay, and quicker return to daily activities.
Abdominal hysterectomy may be needed if fibroids are very large or complicated, but recovery is longer.
Vaginal hysterectomy is also safe with a fast recovery, but it’s usually suitable when the uterus is not too large.
Your surgeon will recommend the best approach after evaluating your fibroid size, location, and medical history to ensure safety and effectiveness.
