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.
How is the uterus removed?
The uterus can be surgically removed through either the vagina or the abdominal wall.
When are stitches removed from a sewn uterus?
Stitches in a sewn uterus, typically following a cesarean section or uterine repair, are usually removed around 5 to 7 days post-surgery, depending on the type of sutures used. Absorbable stitches may not need to be removed, as they dissolve on their own. The exact timing can vary based on individual healing and the surgeon's assessment. Always follow the specific guidance given by the healthcare provider.
When would one need to get laparoscopic surgery for endometriosis?
Endometriosis is a condition seen only in women that occurs when uterus cells begin growing in areas that are outside of the uterus.

What is all about Abdominal Hysterectomy?
A hysterectomy alone means the removal of the uterus. There are two ways that the surgeon can operate 1. Laparoscopically (key hole) where the uterus is removed by 1 to 4 small incisions in the abdomen to allow the surgical instruments to enter the abdominal cavity. 2. Abdominal is where the surgeon accesses the abdominal cavity by way of a six inch incision in your stomach. Recovery time from abdominal surgery is usually longer and you are left with a larger scar than with laparoscopic surgery.
What is the end of the surgery technique for open prenatal surgery?
