Under the guidance of Dr. Seckin, a renowned expert in the field, our practice focuses on providing comprehensive care for various women's health issues. We specialize in performing hysterectomy, a surgical procedure that involves the removal of the uterus, to address certain medical conditions or health concerns.

Understanding Hysterectomy and its Potential Benefits

Hysterectomy is a common and effective treatment option for various gynecological conditions, such as uterine fibroids, endometriosis, adenomyosis, and certain types of cancer. This surgical procedure has helped countless women find relief from the symptoms associated with these conditions and improve their overall quality of life.

During a hysterectomy, either the entire uterus or just a portion of it, along with the cervix, can be removed. In some cases, the ovaries and fallopian tubes may also be removed, depending on the specific medical circumstances.

Identifying and Addressing Potential Risks

Like any surgical procedure, hysterectomy does come with some potential risks and complications. It's essential to have a comprehensive understanding of these risks and consult with a skilled and experienced medical professional, such as those at Dr. Seckin's practice, to minimize their occurrence and ensure the best possible outcomes.

Some potential risks associated with hysterectomy include:

• Infection: There is a small risk of infection at the surgical site. Our skilled medical team takes all necessary precautions to minimize this risk and ensures strict adherence to sterile techniques during the procedure.
• Blood Clots: The risk of developing blood clots, including deep vein thrombosis (DVT), is present after any major surgery. At Dr. Seckin's practice, we employ preventive measures, such as early ambulation and medication, to significantly reduce this risk.
• Damage to Nearby Structures: During the procedure, there is a small possibility of unintended damage to nearby structures, such as the bladder, rectum, or blood vessels. Our skilled surgeons exercise utmost caution and utilize advanced techniques to minimize this risk.
• Adverse Reaction to Anesthesia: While complications related to anesthesia are rare, our practice has a team of experienced anesthesiologists who prioritize patient safety and ensure the administration of anesthesia is closely monitored.
• Changes in Hormone Levels: Depending on the specific type of hysterectomy performed, there may be hormonal changes that occur after the procedure. Our doctors thoroughly discuss these potential changes with each patient and provide appropriate guidance.
