Vaginal Hysterectomy with Repair and Ovary Removal in Windhoek

About this service

Vaginal hysterectomy with repair and ovary removal in Windhoek combines removal of the uterus through the vagina, repair of the vaginal walls, and removal of one fallopian tube and ovary in a single operation. This combined approach is used when a patient has more than one gynaecological issue needing surgical treatment, such as uterine problems, prolapse and an ovarian condition together, allowing everything to be addressed in one procedure rather than several.

Your doctor will explain how each part of the surgery relates to your specific diagnosis. Eastgate Clinic performs this surgery in our on-site day theatre.

What to expect

• A thorough assessment covers the uterus, pelvic support and the ovary before planning surgery
• The operation is performed under general or regional anaesthesia
• A hospital stay of a few days is common given the combined nature of this surgery
• Some vaginal discharge and pelvic discomfort is expected during initial healing
• Your doctor will advise on activity restrictions and follow-up during recovery

Who is it for?

You may be advised to have this if you are dealing with:

• Uterine problems together with prolapse and an ovarian condition
• A bulge or pressure in the vagina combined with an ovarian cyst or mass
• Multiple gynaecological issues being considered for one combined operation
• Heavy periods or fibroids alongside prolapse and ovarian concerns
• Diagnosis requiring removal of the uterus, repair, and one ovary together
