1. Advantages of laparoscopic hysterectomy

Depending on the size of the uterine fibroid, the patient is prescribed by the doctor to remove the nucleus by open surgery or laparoscopic surgery. When uterine fibroids are large, the doctor will appoint the patient to open surgery. Although the open surgery method is safe, with an incision of about 10-15 cm long, the patient has to endure a lot of pain after surgery, a long scar, a 5-day hospital stay, and a lot of rest.
On the contrary, when conducting laparoscopy, the surgery will be done quickly and without pain. Normally, laparoscopic surgery for uterine fibroids only takes about 60 minutes, which can keep the uterus intact and preserve the patient's fertility. In addition, endoscopy helps small scars heal quickly, ensuring aesthetics, less pain, less blood loss, patients quickly return to their daily routine, and limit antibiotic use.
