You may want to seek a gynecologic surgeon makes a total laparoscopic hysterectomy (TLH). A California doctor only did one through a small incision in the navel! Many doctors do this with four small incisions. Please if you can avoid a TAH. I gave consent for a planned LAVH. But for no reason, my doctor gave me an old TAH. Now I have many problems as a result. Two years later, I had to have a second corrective surgery to remove adhesions and endometriosis. It was completely by laparoscopy. It was much better and easier than the TAH. Recovery is much, much faster. I have many injuries and complications of TAH are now permanent. My incision is not attractive bikiini and caused a permanent shock (can be seen through clothing and is embarrassing). Please see if you can find a trusted surgeon who has extensive experience with total laparoscopic hysterectomies. They can remove large tumors in this way. Cut into small pieces and removed through the small incicions. Search Google for total laparoscopic hysterectomy. My excellent surgeon (my second operation) is in Portola Valley, CA. Physicians have is not uptodate training to keep doing TAHSA routine. My second surgeon, or even eliminates the cells using maligment TLH. Please get a second opinion from a doctor with modern knowledge. br br
