What is tahbso procedure?
TAHBSO procedure stands for Total Abdominal Hysterectomy and Bilateral Salpingo-Oophorectomy. It is a surgical procedure in which the uterus (womb), fallopian tubes, and ovaries are removed through an incision in the abdomen.
TAHBSO procedure is typically performed to treat conditions such as:
- Uterine cancer
- Ovarian cancer
- Fallopian tube cancer
- Endometriosis
- Pelvic inflammatory disease (PID)
- Uterine fibroids
- Abnormal uterine bleeding
- Prolapse of the uterus
TAHBSO procedure can be performed as an open surgery or as a minimally invasive surgery (MIS) using laparoscopy or robotic assistance.
Open TAHBSO procedure involves making a vertical or horizontal incision in the abdomen to remove the uterus and other affected organs.
MIS TAHBSO procedure involves making several small incisions in the abdomen and using a camera and specialized instruments to remove the uterus and other affected organs.
TAHBSO procedure is a major surgery and typically requires general anesthesia. The recovery time after a TAHBSO procedure can vary depending on the individual and the type of surgery performed.
