Best Answer

A Laparoscopic hysterectomy allows the cervix to stay intact. The surgeon makes three small incisions on your abdomen. One right at the belly button and one each on the left and right side of your lower abdomen. Laparoscopic instruments are inserted, of which one is a camera attached to a telescope. This allows the surgeon to view the uterus, tubes, and ovaries. The uterus is detached and cut into smaller pieces, which are then removed through one of the small incisions. The recovery time and restrictions are much shorter than a vaginal hysterectomy.

What structures are removed during a TAH?

total abdominal hysterectomy (TAH), and supracervical abdominal hysterectomy (SAH). In a TAH, the uterus and the cervix are both removed. In a SAH, only the uterus is removed. Although your ovaries may be removed during a TAH or SAH, these procedures can easily be performed without removing your ovaries.


Is it possible to have two hysterectomies?

That depends. A hysterectomy is when the uterus is surgically removed. If the entire uterus is removed then a second hysterectomy is not possible. In the past it was common for the surgeon to leave the cervix (the lower part of the uterus) in place while removing the rest of it. If this was done then it would be possible to have another surgery where the remnant that was left the first time is removed.

Hysterectomy is removal of uterus. Total hysterectomy is removal of uterus and cervix.
