Bilunare

Bilunare is a surgical procedure that involves the removal of the uterus and the upper part of the vagina, leaving the lower part of the vagina and the cervix intact. It is a form of hysterectomy, which is the surgical removal of the uterus. Bilunare is typically performed on women who have undergone previous hysterectomies and have a cervix that is still intact. The procedure is often recommended for women who have experienced complications from previous surgeries or who have a history of uterine prolapse.

The primary goal of bilunare is to alleviate symptoms such as pelvic pain, urinary incontinence, and vaginal prolapse. It can also help to improve sexual function and quality of life for some women. The surgery is usually performed laparoscopically, which involves making small incisions and using a camera to guide the procedure. This approach often results in less pain, a shorter hospital stay, and a faster recovery compared to traditional open surgery.

Post-operative care for bilunare typically includes pain management, physical therapy, and regular follow-up appointments to monitor healing and address any complications. Women may need to take time off work and avoid heavy lifting or strenuous activities for several weeks. The recovery period can vary depending on individual factors, but most women can return to normal activities within a few months.

Bilunare is a specialized procedure and is generally recommended by a gynecologist or urologist who has experience in pelvic reconstructive surgery. It is important for women considering this procedure to have a thorough discussion with their healthcare provider to understand the benefits, risks, and potential alternatives.
