Uterine Cancer Surgery

medical tourism Uterine Cancer Surgery

For patients seeking uterine cancer surgery, medical tourism provides access to world-class oncology care at significantly lower costs (typically 40-70% less than in the US/Europe). Top destinations like India, Turkey, Thailand, and Mexico offer advanced surgical options including robotic-assisted hysterectomy, laparoscopic lymph node dissection, and radical cancer resection in JCI-accredited hospitals with English-speaking specialists. Many medical tourism packages include full treatment plans, hospital stays, and recovery support, with significantly shorter wait times compared to Western countries.

Uterine Cancer Surgery – Hysterectomy, Robotic Surgery & Recovery Guide

Uterine cancer (endometrial cancer) is the most common gynecologic cancer, and surgery is the primary treatment for most cases. The type of procedure depends on the cancer stage, patient’s age, and overall health.

Types of Uterine Cancer Surgery

1. Total Hysterectomy

  • Removes the uterus and cervix.
  • Standard treatment for early-stage uterine cancer.

2. Radical Hysterectomy

  • Removes the uterus, cervix, upper vagina, and surrounding tissues.
  • Used if cancer has spread to the cervix.

3. Bilateral Salpingo-Oophorectomy (BSO)

  • Removes both ovaries and fallopian tubes.
  • Often done with hysterectomy for hormone-sensitive cancers.

4. Lymph Node Dissection

  • Removes pelvic and para-aortic lymph nodes to check for spread.

5. Minimally Invasive Surgery (Laparoscopic/Robotic)

  • Smaller incisions, faster recovery.
  • Suitable for early-stage cancer.

6. Debulking Surgery

  • For advanced uterine cancer (Stage III/IV).
  • Removes as much tumor as possible.

Recovery & What to Expect

  • Hospital Stay: 1-3 days (longer for open surgery).
  • Recovery Time: 4-6 weeks (shorter for robotic/laparoscopic).
  • Side Effects: Pain, fatigue, menopause symptoms (if ovaries removed).
  • Follow-Up: Regular check-ups, imaging, and hormone therapy if needed.

Risks & Complications

Infection
Bleeding
Blood clots
Lymphedema (if lymph nodes removed)
Early menopause

Life After Surgery

  • Hormone Replacement Therapy (HRT) may be needed.
  • Pelvic floor therapy can help with bladder/bowel function.
  • Fertility preservation options exist for early-stage cancer.

Conclusion

Uterine cancer surgery is highly effective for early-stage disease. Minimally invasive techniques reduce recovery time, while lymph node assessment ensures proper staging.
