Supracervical Hysterectomy
Laparoscopic Supracervical hysterectomy (LSH) is a MIS
procedure in which only the uterus is removed using laparoscopic instruments and
the cervix and vagina are preserved unchanged. During a LSH, the surgeon
separates the uterus from the cervix and then removes it through one of the
abdominal incisions. Preservation of the cervix and vagina allows for an even
quicker recovery and return to full activity. It has been suggested that by
retaining the cervix and vagina unchanged, women will maintain better pelvic
support. In addition, some women also feel that their sexual response is better
maintained by keeping their cervix. |
