It was not obvious to Johanna Blomqvist that the procedure would be performed with the new technology.
– I have been very lucky, she says.
It was incontinence problems that made Johanna understand that everything was not right. A benign tumor was soon found in her uterus.
But instead of an operation that would involve an incision on the stomach, which would then result in scars, Johanna had her uterus removed in 50 minutes using peephole surgery via the vagina.
– I stayed one night in the hospital. But the doctor said I might as well go home the same day.
“Incredibly grateful”
Barely a week after the operation, Johanna feels that she is a little sore in the lower part of her stomach and needs some rest.
– But I would still say that I feel surprisingly well.
The operating method has been introduced at the hospital in Ängelholm, but soon Helsingborg’s hospital staff will also perform this type of procedure.
– I am incredibly grateful that I am one of those who got to do this, says Johanna Blomqvist.
