Laparoscopic Hysterectomy
In Kolkata
When medication isn't enough, hysterectomy (uterus removal) offers permanent relief. Laparoscopic hysterectomy is performed by Dr. Vinita Khemani — experienced gynecologic surgeon, specializing in minimally invasive techniques for faster recovery.
Surgical Methods
We prioritize the least invasive method suitable for your condition.
Total Laparoscopic Hysterectomy (TLH)
The entire uterus is removed using keyhole incisions. This is the preferred method for most patients due to faster recovery (2 days) and minimal pain.
Abdominal Hysterectomy
Traditional open surgery through an abdominal incision. Reserved for very large fibroids (like 20+ weeks size) or ovarian cancer where laparoscopy isn't safe.
Vaginal Hysterectomy (NDVH)
Removal of the uterus through the vagina with no external scars. Often used for uterine prolapse cases (uterus dropping down).
Path to Fast Recovery
Day 1–2: Hospital Stay
Most laparoscopic patients are walking within hours and discharged in 24–48 hours. Pain is managed effectively.
Week 1: Rest & Light Activity
Rest at home, but short walks are encouraged to aid healing. No heavy lifting.
Week 2–3: Returning to Routine
Many return to desk jobs. Energy levels improve significantly.
Week 4–6: Full Recovery
Clearance for exercise and normal activities. Feel the freedom from pain and bleeding!
"The fear of surgery vanished when I realized how quickly I could get back to my life—pain-free."
Life After Surgery
No More Bleeding
Say goodbye to heavy periods, anemia, and fatigue. Regain your vitality.
Cancer Prevention
Eliminates the risk of uterine, cervical, and (if removed) ovarian cancers.
Pain Relief
Permanent relief from fibroids, endometriosis pain, and pelvic pressure.
Hysterectomy in India:
Separating Facts from Fear
Hysterectomy remains one of the most commonly performed gynecological surgeries in India, yet it is surrounded by fear and misinformation. Many women delay necessary surgery due to myths about losing femininity, premature aging, or drastic lifestyle changes — none of which are true when the surgery is performed by experienced hands with proper ovarian preservation.
Studies published in the Indian Journal of Medical Research show that approximately 6-8% of Indian women undergo hysterectomy, with fibroids and abnormal uterine bleeding being the most common indications. Tragically, many women in India suffer for years with debilitating symptoms before seeking surgical intervention, often because they were never properly counseled about minimally invasive options.
Dr. Vinita Khemani believes in exhausting all conservative treatments first. Hysterectomy is recommended only when medications, hormonal therapy, and other less invasive procedures have failed — or when there is a clear medical necessity such as malignancy risk. When surgery is indicated, her expertise in Total Laparoscopic Hysterectomy (TLH) ensures patients return to normal life within days, not weeks.

Not necessarily. If your ovaries are preserved during the surgery, you will not enter menopause immediately. If ovaries are removed (oophorectomy), surgical menopause will begin. Dr. Khemani discusses this in detail before surgery to help you make an informed decision.
For laparoscopic hysterectomy (TLH), recovery is quick. Patients are discharged in 1-2 days and return to light activities in a week. Full recovery takes 2-3 weeks. Abdominal hysterectomy takes 4-6 weeks. Dr. Khemani’s minimally invasive approach ensures faster recovery.
The cost varies based on the type of procedure (TLH, LAVH, NDVH, or abdominal) and hospital chosen. Dr. Khemani operates at multiple hospitals, offering options for different budgets while maintaining the highest surgical standards.
Yes, it is a major procedure, but with modern laparoscopic techniques performed by Dr. Khemani, the impact on the body is minimized. It is very safe when performed by experienced hands with proper pre-operative evaluation.
