What Is an Abdominal Hysterectomy?

An abdominal hysterectomy is a surgical procedure that involves the removal of the uterus through an incision in the lower abdomen. Abdominal hysterectomy is the most convenient option for removing a  large-sized uterus. Enlarging the uterus requires better visualization and exposure due to a higher risk of blood loss, injury to the adjacent viscera, and prolonged operating times. The most common indications for abdominal hysterectomy involve abnormal uterine bleeding, uterine leiomyoma, malignancy, and premalignant disease. 

However, the rate of abdominal hysterectomy has declined due to the advent of less invasive surgeries that require less post-operative care, have expedited recovery times, and ensure a better quality of life after the surgery.

Diagnostic Tests Before Abdominal Hysterectomy Surgery

Doctors usually suggest a few diagnostic tests before the abdominal hysterectomy surgery to identify any underlying health condition that might complicate the surgery. Some common diagnostic tests performed before abdominal hysterectomy surgery are as follows:

  • Urine test
  • Abdominal x-ray
  • X-ray of the kidneys
  • Blood test
  • Ultrasound imaging
  • Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) 
  • Endometrial biopsy
  • Pelvic ultrasound

Abdominal Hysterectomy Surgery Procedure

Abdominal hysterectomy surgery is performed in a hospital setting, and generally requires approximately two hours in the operating room. Before surgery, the doctor recommends antibiotics to prevent infection and medication or compression devices to prevent abnormal blood clots. After that, the surgeon provides general or spinal anesthesia for sedation so that you feel minimal pain. Heart rate, blood pressure, blood loss, and respiration are closely observed throughout the procedure. After surgery, the patient is transferred to the recovery room (also known as the post-anesthesia care unit) so you can be monitored while waking up. Most women will then be transferred to a hospital room for one to two nights.

What Factors Increase The Chances of Risk And Complications During The Abdominal Hysterectomy Procedure?

The following factors can potentially increase the risk and complications during the abdominal hysterectomy:

  • Being heavyweight or underweight can increase the risk during surgery 
  • Smoking increases the chances of complications during surgery. The longer the smoking history, the greater the surgical risk
  • Advancing age
  • Uncontrolled diabetes, as shown by a high hemoglobin A1c and a high fasting glucose.
  • Hypertension, if it is poorly controlled.
  • Poor nutritional status (malnutrition with mineral and vitamin deficiencies)
  • History of bleeding disorders
  • Poor immune system due to a variety of issues

What care Is Required After Abdominal Hysterectomy Surgery?

Here is a list of measures that you must take for quicker recovery of abdominal hysterectomy surgery:

  • Gently wash the surgical wound with organic soap. Keep the surgical area clean and dry.
  • To alleviate discomfort from the incision, apply a heating pad or warm compress.
  • Follow a clear, liquid diet after surgery. The diet gradually advances to solid food.
  • You may be required to use sanitary napkins (for bleeding) for about a week or more after the surgery. 
  • Complete the course of prescribed medication as advised by your physician.
  • Take supplements and hormonal medications under the supervision of the physician.
  • Resume driving 2 weeks after the surgical procedure or when advised by your physician.
  • Avoid sexual intercourse till complete healing has taken place. 
  • Walk and exercise gradually, it helps in quicker recovery.
