Scarless Hysterectomy (NDVH)
What is Scarless Hysterectomy (NDVH)?
Scarless Hysterectomy, medically known as Non-Descent Vaginal Hysterectomy (NDVH), represents the most natural and minimally invasive method for removing the uterus. By performing the entire surgery through the natural vaginal canal, it completely avoids any abdominal incisions, delivering zero external scarring, significantly reduced postoperative pain, and an exceptionally swift recovery.
At Dr. Deepika Lalwani (Nagwani)'s Clinic in New Kalyani Nagar & Wadgaon Sheri, Pune, we specialize in NDVH for benign conditions including heavy menstrual bleeding (AUB), adenomyosis, and uterine fibroids. With over 10+ years of advanced surgical experience, Dr. Deepika Lalwani (MBBS, DGO Mumbai) evaluates each patient meticulously to deliver safe, incision-free surgical solutions.
All surgical procedures are conducted in partner premier tertiary hospital operating suites in Pune, featuring modern surgical instrumentation, dedicated anesthesia teams, and round-the-clock nursing care.

Expert Guidance
From your initial consultation through recovery, our dedicated team is here to support you with personalized care, ensuring your comfort and peace of mind at every stage.
Step 1: Diagnostic Assessment & Uterine Mapping
High-resolution transvaginal ultrasound (TVS) evaluates uterine size, fibroid location, and pelvic mobility to ensure safe vaginal extraction feasibility.
Step 2: Anesthesia & Natural Internal Entry
Under regional spinal or general anesthesia, a discreet circumferential incision is made at the top of the vaginal fornix surrounding the cervix.
Step 3: Uterine Vessel Ligation & Devascularization
The uterine arteries and cardinal-uterosacral ligament complexes are securely clamped, ligated, and divided with zero abdominal penetration.
Step 4: Specimen Delivery & Vaginal Vault Reconstruction
The uterus is gently delivered through the vaginal canal (using internal debulking if enlarged), followed by anatomic closure of the vaginal vault using dissolvable sutures.

Non-Descent Vaginal Hysterectomy (NDVH) is a surgical technique where the diseased uterus is removed entirely through the natural vaginal opening. Because there are zero incisions on the abdominal skin, there are no visible external scars, resulting in superior cosmetic outcomes and less abdominal pain.
While Laparoscopic Hysterectomy (TLH) is minimally invasive, it still requires 3 to 4 small keyhole incisions on your abdomen. NDVH is performed entirely through the natural vaginal canal, requiring zero abdominal cuts, minimal equipment trauma, and providing an even faster return to daily mobility.
Yes, in many cases. Dr. Deepika Lalwani utilizes specialized surgical reduction techniques such as bisection, myomectomy, and morcellation to safely debulk and extract enlarged fibroid uteri (up to 12-14 weeks size) through the vaginal pathway without abdominal cuts.
No, not if your ovaries are preserved. In non-cancerous conditions, healthy ovaries are left intact. They continue producing natural estrogen and progesterone, preventing premature surgical menopause. You will simply stop having menstrual bleeding.
Most patients stay in the hospital for 24 to 48 hours. Because abdominal muscles are not cut, postoperative pain is low and most women walk comfortably within a day, returning to light work within 2 to 3 weeks.
