supracervical hysterectomy การใช้

There is also no apparent difference between total abdominal hysterectomy and supracervical hysterectomy for advanced cancers.
The laparoscopic supracervical hysterectomy is billed as " the painless hysterectomy, " says Dr . Joseph McWherter, a Fort Worth gynecologist who has done about 65 of the procedures in the past couple of years.
This summer, her doctor's nurse told her about laparoscopic supracervical hysterectomy, a procedure in which large fibroid tumors and the uterus itself can be removed through small laparoscopic incisions or punctures in the abdomen while leaving the cervix intact.
Supracervical hysterectomy does not eliminate the possibility of having cervical cancer since the cervix itself is left intact and may be contraindicated in women with increased risk of this cancer, regular pap smears to check for cervical dysplasia or cancer are still needed.
