1. Hysterectomy is a surgical procedure to remove the uterus and sometimes other reproductive organs. It can be performed abdominally through an incision in the abdomen, vaginally through the vagina, or laparoscopically through small incisions using specialized instruments.
2. Over 600,000 hysterectomies are performed annually in the US, most commonly to treat benign conditions like fibroids, endometriosis, or uterine prolapse. The preferred method is vaginal hysterectomy when possible due to faster recovery.
3. Risks of hysterectomy include earlier menopause, increased risks of cardiovascular disease and osteoporosis, as well as potential short-term risks like infection,
Dilatation and curettage (D & C) is a procedure to remove tissue from inside the uterus. Doctors perform D & C to diagnose and treat certain uterine conditions — such as a heavy bleeding — or to clear the uterine lining after an abortion or miscarriage.
Series of events that takes place in the genital organ in an effort to expel the viable products of conception out of the womb through the vagina into the outer world is called labour.

Medical Technology Tackles New Health Care Demand - Research Report - March 2...pchutichetpong
M Capital Group (“MCG”) predicts that with, against, despite, and even without the global pandemic, the medical technology (MedTech) industry shows signs of continuous healthy growth, driven by smaller, faster, and cheaper devices, growing demand for home-based applications, technological innovation, strategic acquisitions, investments, and SPAC listings. MCG predicts that this should reflects itself in annual growth of over 6%, well beyond 2028.
According to Chris Mouchabhani, Managing Partner at M Capital Group, “Despite all economic scenarios that one may consider, beyond overall economic shocks, medical technology should remain one of the most promising and robust sectors over the short to medium term and well beyond 2028.”
There is a movement towards home-based care for the elderly, next generation scanning and MRI devices, wearable technology, artificial intelligence incorporation, and online connectivity. Experts also see a focus on predictive, preventive, personalized, participatory, and precision medicine, with rising levels of integration of home care and technological innovation.
The average cost of treatment has been rising across the board, creating additional financial burdens to governments, healthcare providers and insurance companies. According to MCG, cost-per-inpatient-stay in the United States alone rose on average annually by over 13% between 2014 to 2021, leading MedTech to focus research efforts on optimized medical equipment at lower price points, whilst emphasizing portability and ease of use. Namely, 46% of the 1,008 medical technology companies in the 2021 MedTech Innovator (“MTI”) database are focusing on prevention, wellness, detection, or diagnosis, signaling a clear push for preventive care to also tackle costs.
In addition, there has also been a lasting impact on consumer and medical demand for home care, supported by the pandemic. Lockdowns, closure of care facilities, and healthcare systems subjected to capacity pressure, accelerated demand away from traditional inpatient care. Now, outpatient care solutions are driving industry production, with nearly 70% of recent diagnostics start-up companies producing products in areas such as ambulatory clinics, at-home care, and self-administered diagnostics.

2. Introduction
Hysterectomy is an operation in which the
uterus is removed.
The cervix, ovaries and/or Fallopian tubes
might also be removed.
It may be done abdominally or vaginally.
Vaginal hysterectomy usually done for some
cases of uterine prolapse.
3. Epidemiology
• Hysterectomy is the second most common surgery among
women in the United States
• One in three women in U.S. had one by age 60
• Each year, more than 600,000 are done
• Over 90% are performed for benign conditions
• Over 70% also involved the surgical removal of ovaries
• Abdominal hysterectomy was more common than vaginal
hysterectomy (65% vs. 35%)
• Proportion of vaginal hysterectomies performed with
laparoscopic assistance doubled (from 13% to 28%)
4. Indications
• Fibroids 30%
• Endometriosis
• Uterine prolapse
• Cancer of the uterus, cervix, or ovaries
• Vaginal bleeding, DUB 20%
• uncontrollable PPH
5. • Pelvic inflammatory
disease
• Severe pelvic
adhesions
• Bilateral ovarian
pathology
• Adenomyosis
• Pelvic congestion
syndrome
• Intractable, recurrent
dysmenorrhea or
metrorrhagia
• Uterine anomalies
• Recurrent intrauterine
polyps
• Uterine perforation
• Mentally retarded
patient with no
hygiene control
• Pregnancy
• Placenta increta,
percreta, or acreta
• Atonic uterus
• Uterine perforation
• Ruptured uterus
7. Which Route is Best?
• Abdominal Hysterectomy
– Results in greatest mean blood loss
– Has the highest incidence of febrile morbidity
– And abdominal wound infection (obviously)
– Longest hospitalisation
– And slowest to recover
• Vaginal Hysterectomy
– Is the preferred route when technically possible
• Laparoscopic Hysterectomy
– Requires training and equipment
– Longest operating time
– But shortest hospitalisation and recovery
– But has the greatest overall risk of complications
– There is debate about its cost effectiveness
8.
9. Types of Hysterectomy
• Subtotal Hysterectomy
• Uterine body only
• Total Hysterectomy
• Uterine body and cervix (not ovaries!)
• Hysterectomy with BSO
• Uterus with bilateral salpingo oophorectomy
• Radical (or Wertheim) Hysterectomy
• Total hysterectomy with pelvic lymph nodes,
paracervical tissue and upper 1/3 vagina
10. Types of Hysterectomy -
simplified
• Partial Hysterectomy
– Removes 2/3 of
uterus
• Total Hysterectomy
– Removes uterus and
cervix
• Radical Hysterectomy
– Removes uterus,
cervix, and vagina
11. Abdominal Hysterectomy
• Patient Preparation
– For patients at risk, thromboembolism prophylaxis is
begun preoperatively, or pneumatic compression boots
are applied in the OR
– Prophylactic antibiotic agent should be given as a single
dose 30 minutes prior to the incision
• Incision choice - transverse or vertical
– Need for exploration of the upper abdomen
– Size of the uterus
– Presence of prior incisions
– Desired cosmetic results
12. Abdominal Hysterectomy - the
Procedure
• Post-Op care -
– Not necessary to leave a bladder catheter in place postoperatively
– IV fluids for the first 24 hours to ensure that the patient remains well
hydrated
– Early feeding of a regular diet can stimulate the bowel and decrease the
length of hospitalization*
– Deep breathing to prevent atelectasis
– Ambulation is encouraged
– Intermittent compression boots
– Adequate control of postoperative pain
* Fanning, J, Andrews, S. Early postoperative feeding
after major gynecologic surgery: Evidence-based
scientific medicine. Am J Obstet Gynecol 2001; 185:1.
13. Advantages of subtotal hysterectomy
1. -It is easier and quicker than total
hysterectomy
2. There is less danger of injuring the bladder.
3. Less danger of pelvic infection.
4. The cervix left to act as a support for vagina.
5. The cervix discharge lubricates the vagina
14. Advantages of total hysterectomy
1. Provides better drainage of the
operation area.
2. If the cervix is lacerated or infected, the
source of irritant discharge is removed.
17. Abdominal Hysterectomy
• the uterus is removed through an incision
in the woman’s abdomen.
• Most invasive method
• Incision site at abdomen
• Hospital stay of 5-6 days
• Recovery time 6 weeks
• Possible retention of cervix
• Required for endometriosis and large
fibroids
18. Postoperative Complications of abdominal
hysterectomy
Shock.
Hemorrhage. Can cause Anemia
Infection, Wound dehiscence
Intestinal complications as acute gastric dilatation.
Pulmonary complications e.g. bronchitis, pneumonia,
pulmonary collapse.
Venous thrombosis (DVT, SVT.)
Post operative anesthetic complications e.g. Cyanosis,
vomiting.
Remote Complications e.g. vaginal discharge (infection),
vaginal vault prolapse, low back ach,
Menopausal symptoms e.g. sadness, irritability. (in
younger female). Depression or Sexual Dysfunction
Incisional hernia
19. Vaginal Hysterectomy
• the uterus is removed through the
vagina.
• Less invasive than abdominal
hysterectomy
• Incision site at inner vagina
• Hospital stay 1-3 days
• Recovery time 4-6 weeks
• Cervix cannot be preserved
20. vaginal hysterectomy
Indications of vaginal hysterectomy:
1. Some cases of uterine prolapse.
2. Some cases of dysfunctional uterine
bleeding.
3. Some cases of cancer body
21. Vaginal Hysterectomy
• A prophylactic antibiotic agent should be
given as a single dose 30 minutes prior to
the first incision for vaginal hysterectomy
– cefazolin, cefoxitin, and cefuroxime
– Metronidazole (500 mg IV) may be used in
patients with cephalosporin allergies
• A course of appropriate preoperative
antibiotics in women with bacterial vaginosis
can reduce the frequency of cuff infection
22. Vaginal Hysterectomy
• Patient positioning - dorsal lithotomy
• Bimanual pelvic examination is performed
– assess uterine mobility and descent
– confirm that no unsuspected adnexal pathology is
found
• A bladder catheter may be inserted
– some surgeons believe that a distended bladder
helps with recognition of a bladder injury and thus
do not use a catheter
23. Advantages of vaginal hysterectomy:
1. Absence of an abdominal scar.
2. Lower incidence of intestinal complication.
3. An associated genital prolapse can be treated at the same
time.
Disadvantages of vaginal hysterectomy:
1. It is unsafe and difficult in the presence of pelvic adhesions.
2. The ovaries can not be removed in some cases.
3. It can not be done if the size of the uterus is larger than a 14
weeks pregnant uterus.
24. Laparoscopic Hysterectomy
• the uterus is removed in sections through small
incisions using a laparoscope
• Hospital stay 1-3 days
• Recover time is 4-6 weeks
• Longer duration of procedure
• Requires greater surgical expertise
• Urinary tract injuries are more likely
• Fewer abdominal wall infections or febrile
episodes
• Less blood loss
26. • Robotic Laparoscopic
Hysterectomy
– The first successful surgery
using the da Vinci surgical
system was performed in
Belgium in 1997.
– da Vinci S and da Vinci SI is
equiped with double optic
which gives the operator three-
dimensional view of the
operative field, and with
adjustable magnification,
enabling much improved vision
of the pelvis.
da Vinci surgical system
27. Risks and Side Effects
• Earlier onset of menopause
• Greater risk of cardiovascular disease
• Increased chance of osteoporosis and
bone fractures
• Uncontrolled urination
• Reduced libido
• Vaginal dryness
28. After Hysterectomy
• Most women don’t need Pap smears
• Except those who had previous CIN >2 , Ca Cervix or
Ca corpus uterus
• Oestrogen only HRT (ERT) is an option
• Except when BSO was performed for oestrogen
responsive cancer or severe endometriosis
• Symptoms control in these patients can be a real
problem
• Current research suggests that ERT has many
benefits and few risks
29. Aims of treatment – Nursing plan
Pre-operative
Psychological preparation for the operation.
Aims of pre-operative treatment:
1. To prepare the patient physically and mentally for the
operation.
2. Teach her the exercises that will be done post operatively.
3. To improve circulation.
4. To improve respiration.
5. To strength the abdominal muscles
30. Exercise training pre-op:
Deep breathing exercises:
to improve alveolar ventilation. (to minimize changes in lung volume and
gas exchange) from semi-fowler position, the abdominal muscle in slack to
allow greater diaphragmatic excursion
Rolling over in bed
to minimize trunk movement.
Coughing
Two stage cough preceded by deep breathing (the 1st raises the secretion,
the 2nd facilitate expectoration. Patient applies pressure on the incision by
pillows or hands.
Huffing:
accomplished by forceful expiration, If the patient unable to do coughing
Ankle circles:
To minimize the occurrence of phlebitis and facilitate venous return.
Abdominal muscles exercises
31. • Post-operative
Aims:
• To improve circulation.
• To improve respiration and prevent chest complications.
• To avoid muscle wasting.
• To prevent postural problems
Methods
• The same like cesarean section except arm exercises.
• Electrical stimulation to decrease pain (TENS).
• Laser to decrease pain and enhance healing
