A hysterectomy is a surgical procedure performed to remove the uterus (womb). It is performed to treat a variety of different conditions, heavy periods, pelvic pain, ovarian cancer, cervical cancer, uterine cancer, fibroids (benign tumors), endometriosis, and chronic pelvic pain. Hysterectomies are most commonly performed in women above the age of 40. There are different types of hysterectomy that can be performed, depending on the patient's individual case. A total hysterectomy, which is the most commonly performed hysterectomy, involves removing the uterus and cervix. A subtotal hysterectomy is the removal of the uterus. A total hysterectomy with BSO (bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy) involves removing the uterus, cervix, ovaries, and fallopian tubes. A radical hysterectomy is the same as a total hysterectomy with BSO, with the addition of removing surrounding tissue, fat, lymph glands, and part of the vagina. There are 3 different surgical approaches to performing a hysterectomy which include laparoscopic hysterectomy, abdominal hysterectomy, and vaginal hysterectomy. Once a hysterectomy is performed, it is no longer possible for a woman become pregnant, therefore patients should be sure that they do not want to become pregnant before undergoing surgery. Having a hysterectomy can take 6 to 8 weeks to recover from, as it is a major operation.

Disease prevalenceEpilepsy, which affects more than 50 million people worldwide, accounts for a significant share of the global burden of disease. It is estimated that the proportion of the total population with an active form of epilepsy (that is, with ongoing seizures or the need for treatment) at a given time is from 4 to 10 per 1000 people. However, the results of some studies in low- and middle-income countries suggest that this proportion is much higher - from 7 to 15 per 1000 people.It is estimated that globally, epilepsy is diagnosed annually in2.4 million people. In high-income countries, the number of new annual cases of the disease at the general population level is between 30 and 50 per 100,000. In low- and middle-income countries, this figure may be twice as high.Higher rates in low- and middle-income countries are likely to be associated with an increased risk of endemic diseases such as malaria and neurocysticercosis; increased rates of road traffic injuries; birth injuries, as well as differences in medical infrastructure, the availability of prevention programs and affordable medical care.nullnullnullnullmedication, surgery may help.PreventionIdiopathic epilepsy is not preventable. However, for known causes of secondary epilepsy, preventative measures can be taken.    Preventing head injuries is the most effective way to prevent post-traumatic epilepsy.     Proper perinatal care helps reduce the incidence of new epilepsy due to birth injuries.     The use of drugs and other methods to lower body temperature in children with fever can reduce the likelihood of febrile seizures.     Central nervous system infections are a common cause of epilepsy in tropical areas wherethere are many developing countries. The eradication of parasites under these conditions and educational work regarding the prevention of infections are effective ways to reduce the burden of epilepsy worldwide, for example, epilepsy due to neurocysticercosis.Allhospital would like to recommend Professor Antonio Russi (Teknon Kiron Clinic, Barcelona), one of Europe's top epileptologists. According to Professor Russi, 95 out of 100 patients manage to completely get rid of the epilepsy disease after proper treatment.Leave a request on our website and our specialists will contact you and help you choose the best clinic in accordance with your case absolutely free.

Overview: Brain aneurysm repair is a surgical procedure performed to repair a brain aneurysm that has the potential to rupture, or has already ruptured. Average length of stay abroad: weeks Time spent abroad depends on the type of brain aneurysm being treated. Unruptured aneurysms tend to have a quicker recovery process than ruptured aneurysms.
