How long does it usually take to perform a total removal of the uterine adnexa

The time needed for total removal of uterine adnexa is generally not fixed. Different surgical methods, different experience of the operator and different conditions of the patient will affect the duration of the surgery, which generally takes about 1~3 hours. Total removal of uterine adnexa is a relatively routine gynecological surgery, and there are three different surgical methods: open surgery, laparoscopic surgery, and transvaginal surgery, which are usually chosen according to the patient’s condition. The time needed for the different surgical methods will vary. It takes about 1 to 3 hours. At the same time, the time needed to spend on the surgery is also very much related to the experience of the operator, a skillful doctor will need less time, and a doctor who is rusty in operation will need more time. The presence or absence of adhesions in the patient’s abdominal cavity during the operation and the presence or absence of abnormalities in the anatomical position will affect the final operation time. Patients should not be overly concerned about time when undergoing surgery; a smooth procedure is the most important thing.
