Hysterectomy (Abdominal / Vaginal / Laparoscopic / Robotic)
A hysterectomy is the surgical removal of the uterus and is often recommended for women dealing with chronic pelvic issues, heavy bleeding, fibroids, or other uterine conditions. With over 16 years of surgical expertise, Dr. Vinayak Das offers multiple approaches - including abdominal, vaginal, laparoscopic, and robotic-assisted hysterectomy - to ensure the safest and most comfortable experience for each patient.
Types of Hysterectomy Offered
Abdominal Hysterectomy
Performed through an incision in the lower abdomen. Ideal for larger fibroids or when ovaries/tubes also need removal.
Vaginal Hysterectomy
The uterus is removed through the vaginal canal. A less invasive option with faster recovery and no visible scar.
Laparoscopic Hysterectomy
A minimally invasive procedure using small cuts and a camera. Less pain, smaller scars, and quicker healing.
Robotic-Assisted Hysterectomy
An advanced form of laparoscopic surgery with greater precision and minimal tissue trauma - offered when medically suitable.
Why You Might Need a Hysterectomy
- Uterine fibroids causing pain or bleeding
- Heavy or abnormal menstrual bleeding
- Uterine prolapse
- Chronic pelvic pain
- Adenomyosis or endometriosis
- Cancer or precancerous changes in the uterus or cervix
Dr. Das ensures that surgery is only considered when non-surgical treatments are not effective or not recommended.
