In the case of an ovum, ectopic pregnancy is a mandatory treatment option. In addition, in some specific cases, patients after abortion are also indicated for total hysterectomy for definitive treatment. The question many patients are interested in is in which case complete hysterectomy is needed?

1. What is egg pregnancy? Is egg pregnancy dangerous?

Normally, after the sperm fuses with the ovum, it becomes a fertilized egg, which develops into the fetus and its appendages such as the placenta and amniotic sac. In some cases, the trophoblastic cells grow too quickly while the connective tissue and capillaries of the umbilical cord blood vessels in the placenta do not develop in time. As a result, the placenta is degraded, edematous, forming fluid-filled sacs that stick together like bunches of grapes, occupying most of the uterine cavity. This phenomenon is called oviposition.

Ovarian disease, if not treated early, will lead to many dangerous complications such as blood loss, malnutrition or hemorrhage. Not only that, oocyte pregnancy can also cause malignant complications such as invasive oocyte pregnancy and trophoblastic cancer (malignant cancer, which can cause systemic metastases and has a very high mortality rate).

2. In what cases need hysterectomy after abortion?

When it is confirmed that she is pregnant, the patient will be assigned to remove the egg mass from the uterus by dilatation or curettage. After the first curettage, the patient will have the second curettage after 2-3 days. Next, the organization of the scraped tissue will be pathologically performed.

When the ovum has serious complications such as invasive ectopic pregnancy and perforation of the uterus, laparoscopic total hysterectomy after ectopic pregnancy will be applied. This method is also indicated for women who do not want to have children anymore or who are over 40 years old.
The advantage of the laparoscopic total hysterectomy is to remove the entire ovum invasively and treat the disease thoroughly. Not only that, laparoscopic surgery also has the advantage of helping patients reduce trauma, less pain, faster recovery, without too large surgical scars like the previous open surgery method. At the same time, although the cost of laparoscopic surgery is higher than that of open surgery, the hospital stay is short, the drug is used less and the patient recovers quickly, so the total cost of treatment is not high.
