The main types of hysterectomy include:
1- Total Hysterectomy:
- In this procedure, the entire uterus (including the cervix) is removed. This is the most common type of hysterectomy.
2- Subtotal or Partial Hysterectomy:
- This involves the removal of the upper part of the uterus, while the cervix is left intact. It's also known as supracervical or partial hysterectomy.
3- Radical Hysterectomy:
- This procedure involves the removal of the uterus, cervix, part of the vagina, and supporting tissues. It is typically performed in cases of gynecologic cancers.
4- Total Hysterectomy with Bilateral Salpingo-Oophorectomy (TH/BSO):
- In addition to removing the uterus and cervix, this procedure includes the removal of both ovaries and fallopian tubes.
It induces surgical menopause if the patient has not reached menopause yet.
5- Total Laparoscopic Hysterectomy (TLH):
- This is a minimally invasive procedure where the uterus is removed using small incisions and a laparoscope, a thin, lighted tube with a camera.
6- Vaginal Hysterectomy:
- The uterus is removed through the vaginal canal. This approach is less invasive than abdominal surgery and often results in a faster recovery.
7- Laparoscopic-Assisted Vaginal Hysterectomy (LAVH):
- This is a combination of laparoscopic and vaginal approaches, where the laparoscope is used to assist in the removal of the uterus through the vagina.
