Open Abdominal Hysterectomy Procedure

Open abdominal hysterectomy is a surgical procedure to remove the uterus through an incision in the lower abdomen. This surgical approach is utilized if the uterus is enlarged or if there is a complication that prevents a vaginal approach. During the procedure, the surgeon carefully dissects and separates the uterus, fallopian tubes, and ovaries from surrounding tissues and blood vessels before removing them. There are a few reasons why patients may undergo a hysterectomy including abnormal or excessive uterine bleeding, fibroids, cervical abnormalities, debilitating pelvic pain, cancer, and other conditions.

When is This Procedure Necessary?

Open abdominal hysterectomy is considered medically necessary in cases where less invasive procedures are not feasible or appropriate. This may include situations where the patient has a large uterus, extensive scarring from previous surgeries, or underlying medical conditions that increase the risk of complications with minimally invasive techniques. Additionally, an open abdominal hysterectomy may be recommended if there is suspicion of cancer or other serious pathology that requires thorough exploration and removal of the uterus and surrounding tissues. The decision to perform an open abdominal hysterectomy should be made collaboratively between the patient and their healthcare provider, weighing the potential benefits and risks associated with this more invasive surgical approach.

What To Expect

Patients will be under general anesthesia to ensure their comfort throughout the procedure. The surgeon will begin by making an incision over the abdomen to access the uterus. When the goal of the procedure has been achieved, the surgeon will close the incision and the patient will slowly wake up while being monitored by the medical staff.

Patients will likely experience discomfort in the weeks following this procedure. The doctor will typically prescribe pain medications so that patients can be comfortable throughout the recovery process. Patients should consult their doctor if they experience any abnormal symptoms.
