It is done for:

• Treatment of gynecological conditions: Hysterectomy is commonly performed to treat various gynecological conditions that can cause significant symptoms and affect a person's quality of life. These conditions may include uterine fibroids, abnormal uterine bleeding, endometriosis, adenomyosis, uterine prolapse, and certain types of gynecological cancers. 
• Symptom relief: Hysterectomy provides effective relief from symptoms associated with gynecological conditions. For example, in cases of uterine fibroids or abnormal uterine bleeding, removing the uterus can stop excessive bleeding, alleviate pelvic pain, and improve quality of life. Similarly, in cases of endometriosis or adenomyosis, removing the uterus can help alleviate pain and other symptoms associated with these conditions.
• Treatment of gynecological cancers: Hysterectomy is often a primary treatment option for certain types of gynecological cancers, such as endometrial cancer or cervical cancer. It involves removing the uterus and, in some cases, the cervix, ovaries, and fallopian tubes to eliminate cancerous tissues and prevent the spread of cancer.
• Surgical approaches: Hysterectomy can be performed using different surgical approaches, including abdominal hysterectomy, vaginal hysterectomy, laparoscopic hysterectomy, and robotic-assisted hysterectomy. These approaches offer varying degrees of invasiveness, with laparoscopic and robotic-assisted approaches being less invasive compared to abdominal hysterectomy. The choice of surgical approach depends on factors such as the patient's condition and individualized treatment plans.
• Minimally invasive techniques: Minimally invasive hysterectomy techniques, such as laparoscopic and robotic-assisted approaches, have gained popularity due to their associated benefits. These techniques involve making small incisions, using specialized instruments and a camera to visualize and remove the uterus. 
• Patient selection and counseling: The decision to undergo a hysterectomy should involve a thorough discussion between the patient and her Gynaecologist, considering factors such as the patient's age, desire for future childbearing, severity of symptoms, impact on quality of life, and alternative treatment options. Patient counseling should include information on the potential risks, benefits, and long-term effects of the procedure to ensure informed decision-making.
