This type of procedure can also be used to perform the endometrial ablation, hysterectomies, and myomectomies. In can also be used in laparoscopic uterine suspension. This procedure helps correct a retroverted or “tipped” uterus which can cause women pain, especially during intercourse.
Recovery time will depend on the complexity of the surgery and can vary from person to person. Although typically, laparoscopic procedures are performed as an outpatient surgery. An overnight stay may be necessary for some, however most patients are able to return home shortly after the procedure. Occasionally, if the surgery is particularly complex or if the condition requires close attention the patient may have to undergo a prolonged stay at the hospital. Recovering may involve some discomfort and it is pretty common. Any discomfort felt can be addressed with pain medications as prescribed by a doctor. If the pain persists, the patient should contact the doctor right away.
