Non Descent Vaginal Hysterectomy is a type of vaginal hysterectomy that is performed in case of a prolapsed uterus i.e. when the uterus has descended into the vagina.
The patient would either be administered general anesthesia or spinal anesthesia. Then a catheter is placed in the patient’s bladder. The surgeon then makes an incision in the patient’s vaginal wall to reach the abdominal cavity.
Then the bladder & bowel are carefully moved away from the uterus, blood vessels & tissues are detached from the uterus & are sealed closed. The uterus in then detached from the ovaries & fallopian tubes. The uterus is then removed & absorbable stitches are made to control the bleeding. The top of the vaginal canal is sealed.
Post surgery, the patient would be in the recovery room for a few hours. Most patients can go home on the same day.
Generally, it takes about 6 weeks for the patient to recover completely & get relief from symptoms. The patient is likely to have constipation, spotting & vaginal discharge during this time.
