Removal of the uterus for a defined indication.
Before your appointment
Discuss the route of surgery and whether the cervix or ovaries are removed. These decisions affect recovery, fertility and hormonal implications.
Time, hospital stay & appointments
Times are planning guides, not national averages or guaranteed schedules. They reflect published provider examples and patient guidance. The treating team confirms the individual plan, time needed near the clinic and fitness to travel. Waiting lists are not included.
- Procedure or course duration
- NHS example: admission can be up to 5 days; full recovery may take 6–8 weeks.
- Hospital stay
- Plan for inpatient care. The clinical team specifies the expected hospital nights, level of monitoring and any additional stay near the centre.
- Visits and repeat attendance
- Plan for preoperative assessment, one operation attendance or admission, and postoperative review. These are three planning stages, not a guaranteed total of three visits: tests, wound care or staged treatment may add appointments.
- Recovery and travel planning
- Lifting, wound and pelvic restrictions depend on the procedure. Arrange pathology review where applicable and practical support during recovery.
