I've been having infections in the vaginal area with stool leaking from there too. Doctors said it's a rectovaginal fistula and recommended surgery. Can this surgery be done laparoscopically or what are the other options? I'm really worried about the recovery and how effective it is

Which is the better option for removing the uterus traditional surgery or laparoscopic surgery? Also, what's the average cost for this procedure in private hospitals in Bhopal? I'm a bit worried about recovery time and complications, so any advice would help

Laparoscopic hysterectomy is generally preferred over traditional open surgery for uterus removal due to faster recovery, less pain, and fewer complications. The cost of a laparoscopic hysterectomy in Bhopal can range from INR 60,000 to INR 1,50,000, with an average cost of around INR 1,00,000. Recovery time is typically shorter for laparoscopic hysterectomies, with most women returning to normal activities within a few weeks.
