TLH (Total Laparoscopic Hysterectomy)

A Gentle, Minimally Invasive Approach to Uterus Removal

If you’re facing conditions like fibroids, heavy bleeding, endometriosis, or chronic pelvic pain, your doctor may recommend a hysterectomy. With today’s advanced surgical techniques, Total Laparoscopic Hysterectomy (TLH) offers a safer, less painful, and quicker recovery alternative to traditional open surgery.

What is TLH?

TLH (Total Laparoscopic Hysterectomy) is a minimally invasive surgery that involves removing the entire uterus (and sometimes the cervix) using laparoscopic tools through small keyhole incisions in the abdomen. The uterus is carefully detached and removed without the need for a large abdominal cut.

This technique results in faster healing, minimal scarring, and less postoperative discomfort.

When is TLH Recommended?

TLH is commonly performed for:

• Uterine fibroids

• Heavy or irregular periods

• Adenomyosis or endometriosis

• Chronic pelvic pain

• Uterine prolapse

• Precancerous changes in the uterus or cervix

Benefits of TLH

• ✅ Minimally Invasive: Small incisions and faster recovery

• ✅ Less Pain: Compared to open abdominal hysterectomy

• ✅ Shorter Hospital Stay: Often discharged within 24–48 hours

• ✅ Quicker Return to Daily Life: Back to normal routine in 1–2 weeks

• ✅ Lower Risk of Infection and Blood Loss

What to Expect

• Surgery Duration: Typically 1.5 to 2 hours

• Hospital Stay: 1 to 2 days

• Recovery Time: Light activity in a few days, full recovery in 4–6 weeks

• Post-op Care: Pain management, rest, and follow-up visits
