OPEN HISTERECTOMY

Open hysterectomy is a surgical procedure that involves the removal of the uterus through an abdominal incision. It is typically performed by a gynecologist and may be recommended for various medical reasons, such as fibroids, endometriosis, pelvic organ prolapse, or certain types of cancer.

Open hysterectomy is associated with a longer recovery period and a larger incision compared to minimally invasive techniques like laparoscopic or robotic-assisted hysterectomy. However, it might be preferred in cases where the condition of the patient or the extent of the surgery requires a more direct and comprehensive approach.
