Vaginal hysterectomy is a surgical procedure in which the uterus is removed through the vagina, offering several advantages over traditional abdominal hysterectomy. This approach is commonly preferred when addressing conditions like utero-vaginal prolapse, for which vaginal hysterectomy is usually done.
Because it’s a less invasive procedure, vaginal hysterectomy typically involves a shorter hospital stay and a quicker recovery. Most patients experience significantly less pain and discomfort compared to abdominal hysterectomy, which requires an abdominal incision.
Many women are able to resume daily routines and return to work within just a few weeks. The reduced downtime makes this approach ideal for those seeking a faster return to normal life.
As the procedure is performed through the vagina, there is no visible abdominal scar. Additionally, it is often performed as an outpatient procedure, which may reduce hospital-related costs and overall expenses.
