How is a Lavh performed?
LAVH involves the use of a small, telescope-like device called a laparoscope. The laparoscope is inserted into the abdomen through a small cut. It brings light into the abdomen so that your doctor can see inside. He or she views the pelvic organs on a special TV-like screen.
What are the three surgical approaches to hysterectomy?
Approaches to hysterectomy may be broadly categorised into four options: abdominal hysterectomy (AH); vaginal hysterectomy (VH); laparoscopic hysterectomy (LH) where at least some of the operation is conducted laparoscopically (Garry 1994), and robotic‐assisted hysterectomy (RH).
Where are the incisions for Lavh?
Procedure: After sedation from general anesthesia is achieved; the doctor will make a small incision at or near your belly button, depending on the size of your uterus, for the laparoscope to be passed through and 2-4 additional incisions in your lower abdomen to insert necessary surgical instruments.
What is the difference between TLH and LAVH?
A TLH approach for removal is the detachement of the entire uterine cervix and body via the laparoscope (tissues removed through vagina or abdomin) and a LAVH is the detachement of entire uterine cervix and body via the laparoscope and vagina (tissues removed through the vagina).
What is a Lavh surgery?
Laparoscopically assisted vaginal hysterectomy (LAVH) removes the uterus through the vagina. In some cases, the ovaries and fallopian tubes are taken out at the same time. In a laparoscopically assisted vaginal hysterectomy, the doctor makes one or more small cuts (incisions) in the belly.
What is Lavh BSO?

What is BSO surgery?
A bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy is a surgery to remove both of your fallopian tubes and both of your ovaries. You may be having this surgery because of an ovarian cyst or a high risk of ovarian cancer. Your healthcare provider will talk with you about why you’re having it.

What is recovery like after a hysterectomy?
An abdominal hysterectomy requires the most time, with recovery typically lasting 6 to 8 weeks. The recovery after a vaginal or laparoscopic hysterectomy is typically much quicker. During the recovery phase, there may be restrictions placed on lifting and activities, bathing and swimming, and sex after surgery.
What to expect from a Robotic hysterectomy?
A robotic hysterectomy uses high-definition 3-D magnification, miniature surgical instruments, and robotic technology. The robotic technology helps surgeons view, disconnect, and remove the uterus. During a robotic hysterectomy, a surgeon will make four or five small incisions in the abdomen.
