On the day of your operation,
you will be asked to put on a surgical gown.
You may receive a sedative by mouth and
an intravenous line may be put in.
You will then be transferred to the operating
table.
In the operating room, a nurse will begin
preparation by clipping or shaving the
abdomen.
The anesthesiologist will begin to administer
anesthesia - most probably general
anesthesia. Patient Education
The surgeon will then apply an antiseptic
solution to the skin...
place a sterile drape around the operative
site...
After allowing a few minutes for the
anesthetic to take effect...
Your doctor will decide whether to make a
vertical...
or horizontal incision.
An incision is made cutting through the skin
and muscle of the abdomen.
Next, the surgeon will inspect the general
condition of the abdominal organs.
Once the ovaries are exposed the uterus can
then be separated from the bladder.
Next, the fallopian tubes are tied off and
cut.
All arteries and veins connected to the
uterus are tied off and cut as well.
Now the uterus can be pulled upward. This
stretches the vagina
allowing the surgeon to cut the uterus free
at the cervix.
The surgeon closes the top of the vagina with
stitches,
and provides added support by attaching the
ligaments that once held the uterus in place.
The incision is then closed...
and a drainage tube may be left inserted at
the site.
Finally, a sterile bandage is applied.

Your doctor has recommended that you have a
hysterectomy with the removal of the ovaries
and fallopian tubes. But what does that
actually mean?
Hysterectomy is the removal of the uterus -
the organ that holds and protects the fetus
during pregnancy.
Hysterectomy often also involves the removal
of other parts of the reproductive system,
including the ovaries - where eggs are
produced - the fallopian tubes which carry
the eggs to the uterus and the cervix - or
neck of the uterus.
There are many different reasons why a doctor
may recommend this kind of surgery.
In many cases, disease or the growth of
abnormal tissue will lead a doctor to
recommend the removal of the uterus, the
ovaries and fallopian tubes.
In some cases, unusually heavy menstrual flow
and the accompanying discomfort may make
hysterectomy an important treatment option
for patient and physician to consider.
But no matter what the reason behind it, you
should be aware that the removal of the
uterus and other reproductive organs is a
serious step and it can mean significant
changes in your life.
After having a hysterectomy, you will not be
able to have children and if because your
ovaries are removed as part of the procedure,
you may even need to take medication to
replace hormones that your body once produced
on its own.
So make sure that you ask your doctor to
carefully explain the reasons behind this
recommendation.
