The Tech That Makes It Possible

At Sahaj Hospital, Indore, we use 3D vision laparoscopy, a surgical technology that provides high-definition, three-dimensional views of your internal organs.

This means:

  • Greater depth perception during surgery

  • Ultra-precise movements by the surgeon

  • Fewer risks and faster stitching

  • Almost zero surrounding tissue damage

🧬 It's not just modern: it's smarter, safer, and more human-focused.

So, What Happens During a Minimally Invasive Hysterectomy?

Here’s what your journey might look like at Sahaj Hospital:

  1. Consultation & Diagnosis
    We confirm your need for surgery (e.g. due to fibroids, adenomyosis, endometriosis, etc.)

  2. Pre-Surgery Planning
    Bloodwork, imaging, and anesthesia check-ups. You’ll also receive emotional counseling and a recovery plan.

  3. Surgery Day

    • Small incisions made in the abdomen

    • A camera (laparoscope) is inserted

    • 3D visuals guide the surgery

    • Uterus is removed without cutting through muscles

    • You’re monitored in a recovery room

  4. Discharge in 24-48 Hours
    Most women go home the next day. No big bandages. No long bed rest.

  5. Follow-up & Support
    You’ll have access to post-op care, emotional guidance, and support via phone or in-person.

Who Is It For?

If you’ve been told you need a hysterectomy for:

  • Uterine fibroids

  • Endometriosis

  • Adenomyosis

  • Heavy bleeding

  • Pelvic pain

  • Uterine prolapse

Then minimally invasive hysterectomy may be your best option.
But make sure it’s performed by specialists in laparoscopic or 3D surgery.
