Dr Jasdev Singh
Laparoscopic Hysterectomy
Removing the womb through small cuts can treat heavy bleeding, fibroids or adenomyosis for women who have completed their family, with a quicker recovery.
Laparoscopic Surgery
An option when other treatments have not helped and your family is complete
A hysterectomy removes the womb, and sometimes the cervix, tubes or ovaries. In a laparoscopic hysterectomy, this is done through small cuts using a camera. Periods stop, and pregnancy is no longer possible.
Choosing a hysterectomy is a big decision. You should feel sure it is right for you.
Dr Jasdev discusses all the alternatives first, and helps you decide whether to keep your ovaries.
Careful assessment before surgery
Scans, symptoms and past operations are reviewed, so surgery is only suggested when it is likely to help.
Fertility kept in mind
If you hope to conceive in future, surgery is planned to protect your womb, tubes and ovaries as far as possible.
Clear recovery guidance
You will know what recovery involves, when to return to normal activities and when your review is due.
What laparoscopic hysterectomy gives you
- An end to heavy or painful periods
- Smaller scars and a faster recovery than open surgery
- A clear discussion about keeping or removing the ovaries
How your care is planned
Each stage is explained so you know why surgery is being considered, what it involves and how recovery will go. You can take time to decide.

How the surgery works
Under general anaesthetic, a camera and instruments are passed through small cuts in the tummy. The womb is freed and removed through the vagina or a small cut. The ovaries can often be kept, which avoids an early menopause. The operation usually takes one to three hours.
Who may benefit
Women who have completed their family and have heavy bleeding, fibroids, adenomyosis, endometriosis or pain not helped by other treatments. It may also be advised for some precancerous conditions.
What to expect
Most women stay one or two nights. Recovery usually takes four to six weeks, and heavy lifting should be avoided during this time. You will have a review visit to check healing.
How Dr Jasdev works with you
He combines surgical and fertility experience, and he explains each option plainly, including when surgery may not be needed. Plans follow current evidence and your hopes for the future. You will have time to ask questions before anything is decided. Women see him from Kuala Lumpur and across Malaysia, and some travel from neighbouring countries.
