Is TAHBSO a major surgical procedure?

Trans-abdominal hysterectomy and bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy (TAHBSO) is a major surgical procedure that involves the removal of the uterus, fallopian tubes, and ovaries through the abdomen. It is typically performed to treat conditions such as uterine fibroids, endometriosis, or ovarian cysts, or as part of a hysterectomy for cancer. TAHBSO is a complex and invasive surgery that requires general anesthesia and carries risks of complications, including bleeding, infection, and damage to surrounding organs. Recovery from TAHBSO typically involves a hospital stay of several days, followed by several weeks of restricted activity and ongoing monitoring.
