Patient's question:
Multiple uterine fibroids are considered for total hysterectomy. Does a total hysterectomy still mean that minimally invasive surgery is feasible?Doctor's answer:
??????Typically, laparoscopic incisions are about 1 cm long at the navel, with two 0.5 cm incisions on each side of the lower abdomen. After surgery, the 1 cm incision is usually sutured with simple stitches, which may use absorbable or non-absorbable sutures. If non-absorbable sutures are used, they should be removed seven days after surgery. If absorbable sutures are used, they do not need to be removed.Vaginal bleeding: During surgery, to clearly examine the ovaries, fallopian tubes, and the posterior sides of the uterus or provide sufficient space for the procedure, a uterine tamponade is often placed through the vagina to adjust the position of the uterus. As a result, some vaginal bleeding is normal after surgery. However, if the bleeding lasts for more than two weeks, you should consult your doctor to check for any abnormalities.
For patients prone to nausea, vomiting, or with a sensitive constitution, there is no need to force yourself to eat. Wait until the anesthesia completely wears off before eating.
