Hysterectomy through belly button leaves no scars

LONDON: In a surgical feat, medical doctors have operated on a woman which they claim is the primary hysterectomy in Europe through a tiny incision in her belly button, leaving no visible outward scars.

The method, known as unmarried incision laparoscopic surgery, is the newest development in keyhole surgery the place the tools are inserted through the belly button including a tiny digital camera and surgeons manoeuvre inside the usage of a TV monitor.

Surgeon Thomas Ind, who led the workforce which performed the hysterectomy ��� the surgical removing of the uterus ��� at the lady named Debbie Price, stated the process is best an extension of what's already being finished with keyhole methods.

���Instead of creating 3 or 4 holes for tools we simply make one hollow. The sufferers like the idea of now not having 3 or 4 little scars throughout their tummy���, he stated. Price, 46, made up our minds to head for the operation after struggling for years with adenomyosis ��� a painful condition the place the womb lining grows into muscle of the uterus.
