Laparoscopic Hysterectomy with Ovarian Removal - Part 4 of 4

Part 4 of a narrated, full-length total laparoscopic hysterectomy and removal of both ovaries for fibroids and pelvic pain. A Ligasure device is used to seal the vessels. Laparoscopic suturing is performed to close the vaginal apex after the uterus and cervix are removed. The entire procedure took approximately 35 minutes and is shown in its entirety in Parts 1 - 4. The patient went home right after surgery and can return to work in about 2 weeks.

Do you think that I would be a good candidate considering my previous UFE.Any other suggestions or advice? Thanks in advance!

[DrKevinStepp]

@Vinnylili05 UFE (embolization) does NOT mean you are no longer a candidate for surgery. If you are interested, you can contact me directly through my website. I'm happy to help if I can. --Kevin Stepp, MD drkevinstepp. com

I have a question. I am 22 years old and I have a 2cm cyst on my right ovary. My doctor says that in order to remove the cyst, the ovary must go as well. Is this true?

[DrKevinStepp]

@silverbeam88 -- Usually don't have to remove the whole ovary. Cysts are very common at your age. Every case is different. If you are unsure, don't hesitate to get a second opinion.

I recently had a Uterine fibroid embolization performed about a year ago and I am no better off than I was before. I still have severe lower pelvic pain, heavy menstrual cycles, frequent urination and alot of other irritable complications, because of my innumerable amount of large and small fibroids as well as ovarians cysts. I am considering a myemetomy to have the fibroids removed.

My mom is getting it done, She has ovarian cists and instead of just watching and waiting she's just going to get this done, And it runs in the family her mom my grandma had ovarian cancer. She's 51 she doesn't need them for anything. I was told its a in and out surgery.

[FelineSweetheart]

When I was 16, I had an ovary removed because the cyst had a tail that had wrapped around the ovary and the cyst itself. The size of the cyst was a little bit bigger than a golf ball. I'm 19 now and had surgery again in May of last year to remove a smaller cyst on my other ovary. The doctors didnt take that ovary out because there was no need.

@DrKevinStepp What if it increases?

[silverbeam88]

@CHANDRAALWIS what if it increases?

[CHANDRAALWIS]

@silverbeam88 You should definitely get a second opinion. 2 cm cyst might be a normal cyst which doesnt need removal.
