Hysterectomy (Uterus Removal Surgery) – By Dr. Vatsal Thakral in Gurgaon

A hysterectomy is a surgical procedure to remove the uterus (womb). It is often recommended when other treatments have failed or when certain conditions make it necessary for a woman’s health and quality of life. Dr. Vatsal Thakral, an experienced Gynaecologist and Laparoscopic Surgeon based in Gurgaon, offers safe and minimally invasive hysterectomy procedures tailored to each woman’s individual medical needs.

What is a Hysterectomy?

A hysterectomy is the surgical removal of a woman’s uterus. After this procedure, you will no longer have menstrual periods or be able to become pregnant. It may sound overwhelming, but in many cases, it brings lasting relief from long-term health issues such as heavy bleeding, fibroids, endometriosis, or uterine prolapse.

There are different types of hysterectomy depending on the reason for surgery:

• Total Hysterectomy: Removal of the uterus and cervix.
• Subtotal (Partial) Hysterectomy: Removal of the uterus, leaving the cervix intact.
• Radical Hysterectomy: Removal of the uterus, cervix, upper part of the vagina, and surrounding tissues (usually for cancer).
• Hysterectomy with Bilateral Salpingo-Oophorectomy: Removal of the uterus, both ovaries, and fallopian tubes.

Conditions That May Require a Hysterectomy

Dr. Vatsal Thakral performs hysterectomy procedures for various gynecological conditions, including:

• Uterine fibroids causing heavy or prolonged bleeding and pelvic pain
• Endometriosis that is severe and unresponsive to other treatments
• Adenomyosis (when the inner lining of the uterus grows into the muscle layer)
• Chronic pelvic pain
• Abnormal uterine bleeding
• Prolapsed uterus
• Uterine, cervical, or ovarian cancer

Minimally Invasive Laparoscopic Hysterectomy

Dr. Vatsal Thakral specializes in laparoscopic hysterectomy, a minimally invasive procedure that uses small incisions and a camera-guided instrument. Compared to traditional open surgery, this technique offers:

• Less pain after surgery
• Faster recovery time
• Smaller scars
• Shorter hospital stay
• Lower risk of complications

Many patients can go home the same or next day and resume daily activities within 1–2 weeks.
