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.
