Hysterectomy
The uterus is removed. Whether the ovaries stay, and what that means for hormones, is a separate decision.
Who it is discussed for
Hysterectomy is discussed only after examination, imaging and, when relevant, pathology. Fertility, bleeding and cancer risk are separate questions. This page does not choose an operation for a person.
What is explained
For Hysterectomy, the surgeon explains what is removed or repaired, what remains, and how fertility or bleeding may change. The route, abdominal or vaginal or minimal access, is a clinical choice.
Anaesthesia
Anaesthesia is general or sedation according to the operation and the person. An anaesthetist decides. Local anaesthesia is not assumed.
Stay
A monitored stay is usual. The number of nights is individual. It is not a package length.
Recovery
The first days are spent near the surgical team. Swelling and limits on activity are expected. The result is not judged in the first weeks.
Return travel
The day of a flight is a medical decision, not a holiday date. Oncora does not promise a fixed day of departure. Airports in use are the ones recorded in the organisation settings.
Risks
Bleeding, infection, clots, poor wound healing, anaesthesia events and a result that differs from the hope are among the risks. The list for a person is longer and is given in consultation. This page is not that list.
