What is Open (Abdominal) Hysterectomy?
Open hysterectomy, also known as abdominal hysterectomy, is a surgical procedure in which the uterus is removed through a horizontal or vertical incision made in the lower abdomen.
Unlike laparoscopic surgery, this procedure allows direct visualization of pelvic organs, making it ideal for complex cases. Although recovery time is longer compared to minimally invasive procedures, open hysterectomy remains the safest option in many medical situations.
When is Open Hysterectomy Recommended?
Open (Abdominal) Hysterectomy may be advised in the following situations:
- Very large uterine fibroids
- Severe abnormal uterine bleeding not responding to treatment
- Advanced adenomyosis
- Complex pelvic adhesions
- Suspected or confirmed gynecological cancer
- Enlarged uterus beyond laparoscopic limits
- Failed previous surgeries
- Endometriosis with extensive involvement
Dr. Shashikala H. Sahu evaluates each patient thoroughly before recommending surgery.
Types of Open Hysterectomy
Depending on the patient’s medical condition, surgery may include:
1. Total Abdominal Hysterectomy
Removal of the uterus and cervix.
2. Subtotal (Partial) Hysterectomy
Removal of the uterus while preserving the cervix.
3. Hysterectomy with Bilateral Salpingo-Oophorectomy
Removal of uterus along with ovaries and fallopian tubes when medically necessary.
The surgical approach is decided after careful evaluation.
Advantages of Open (Abdominal) Hysterectomy
Although minimally invasive surgery is popular, open hysterectomy has specific advantages:
✔ Better access for large or complicated cases
✔ Greater visibility for cancer-related surgeries
✔ Suitable for patients with previous abdominal operations
✔ Effective management of complex pelvic conditions
Patient safety always comes first when choosing surgical methods.
