What is the recovery time for cervix removal?

For a laparoscopic or vaginal hysterectomy, the hospital stay is usually 1 to 2 days, followed by a 2- to 3-week recovery period. A hospital stay of 3 to 5 days is common for an abdominal hysterectomy, and complete recovery takes about 4 to 6 weeks.

Which surgery is used for removal of cervical cancer?

The fallopian tubes are also commonly removed (see Bilateral salpingectomy). Some premenopausal women are able to keep their ovaries.

How fast does cervical cancer spread?

Cervical cancer develops very slowly. It can take years or even decades for the abnormal changes in the cervix to become invasive cancer cells. Cervical cancer might develop faster in people with weaker immune systems, but it will still likely take at least 5 years.

What are the disadvantages of removing cervix?

Bladder and bowel dysfunction following total hysterectomy may be related to loss of nerve ganglia closely associated with the cervix. Increased operative and postoperative morbidity, vaginal shortening, vault prolapse, abnormal cuff granulations and oviductal prolapse are other disadvantages of total hysterectomy.

Can you still have children if your cervix is removed?

Your doctor (gynaecological oncologist) removes most of the cervix and the upper part of the vagina. They put a permanent stitch around the internal opening of the cervix to hold it closed.

The effects on fertility are rare. There is a slightly increased risk of preterm delivery for subsequent pregnancies, and you should mention this history of conization to your doctor in the event of later pregnancy. Cervix narrowing (stenosis) can occur later, which prevents normal menstrual flow and subsequent cervix observation.

How is the cervix removed during a hysterectomy?

This procedure removes the cervix and the upper part of the vagina but not the body of the uterus. The surgeon then places a “purse-string” stitch to act as an artificial opening of the cervix inside the uterine cavity. The nearby lymph nodes are also removed using laparoscopy which may require another incision (cut).
