What is Uterus Surgery?

Uterus surgery is a surgical intervention performed on the uterus. This procedure is carried out to treat uterine diseases, relieve pain and bleeding issues, or preserve fertility. The type of surgery varies depending on the patient’s health condition, age, and the nature of the disease.

Functions and Importance of the Uterus

The uterus is the central organ of the female reproductive system. It provides the necessary environment for pregnancy, regulates the menstrual process, and is responsive to hormones. Therefore, any disease in the uterus directly affects quality of life and reproductive health.

Why is Uterus Surgery Performed?

Uterus surgery can be performed for various medical reasons. The most common reasons are:

  • Fibroids: Benign tumors that develop in the uterine wall. Fibroids can cause pain, excessive bleeding, infertility, and urinary problems. Fibroid surgery can be performed to resolve these issues.
  • Endometriosis: The spreading of the tissue lining the uterus outside the uterus. Endometriosis can lead to pain, infertility, and bleeding problems. Uterus surgery may be required in the treatment of endometriosis.
  • Uterine cancer: Malignant growth of the tissue lining the uterus. Uterus surgery can be performed for the treatment of uterine cancer.
  • Ectopic pregnancy: Fertilized egg implants outside the uterus, usually in the fallopian tubes. Ectopic pregnancy is a dangerous condition and requires urgent treatment. Uterus surgery may be needed in the treatment of ectopic pregnancy.
  • Excessive bleeding: Menstrual bleeding that is heavy and prolonged. Uterus surgery can be performed to address the cause of excessive bleeding.
  • Pelvic pain: Pelvic pain with unclear causes. Uterus surgery may be performed to resolve the cause of pelvic pain.
  • Recurrent miscarriages: Recurrent miscarriages can occur due to various factors. Uterus surgery may be performed to correct structural problems in the uterus.

Types of Uterus Surgery

  • Hysterectomy: The removal of the entire uterus. This procedure may be performed due to fibroids, endometriosis, uterine cancer, or other uterine issues.
  • Myomectomy: The removal of only the fibroids in the uterus. This procedure can address problems such as pain, bleeding, or infertility caused by fibroids.
  • Endometrial Ablation: The destruction of the tissue lining the uterus. This procedure can be performed for women with excessive bleeding problems.
  • Fallopian Tube Ligation: The tying of the fallopian tubes. This procedure can be done for contraception or to reduce the risk of ectopic pregnancy.
  • Laparoscopic Surgery: A minimally invasive surgical method where a small camera and surgical instruments are inserted through small incisions in the abdominal area. Uterus surgeries can also be performed using the laparoscopic method.

How is Uterus Surgery Performed?

The procedure varies depending on the type of surgery. It is generally performed under general anesthesia.

  • Open Uterus Surgery: The uterus is removed through an incision in the abdominal area.
  • Laparoscopic Uterus Surgery: A thin camera and surgical instruments are inserted through small incisions in the abdominal area to remove the uterus.
  • Hysteroscopic Surgery: Intrauterine procedures are performed using a device called a hysteroscope, which is inserted through the cervix with a thin camera and surgical instruments.

Preparation Before Uterus Surgery

  • Medical Evaluation: Blood tests, ultrasound, and MRI if necessary.
  • Medication Adjustments: Temporary discontinuation of blood thinners or certain medications.
  • Nutrition and Fluid Intake: Diet and fluid intake according to preoperative instructions.
  • Psychological Preparation: Information regarding the surgery and postoperative process.

Recovery Process After Uterus Surgery:

The postoperative recovery process varies depending on the type of surgery and the patient’s overall health.
