Total abdominal hysterectomy bilateral salpingo oophorectomy (TAHBSO) is the removal of entire uterus, the ovaries, fallopian tubes and the cervix. TAHBSO is usually performed in the case of uterine and cervical cancer. This is the most common kind of hysterectomy. Removal of the ovaries eliminates the main source of the hormone estrogen, so menopause occurs immediately.
View the surgical procedure for TAHBSO
Post-operative nursing care for patients who underwent TAHBSO would include:
- Determines patient’s immediate response to surgical intervention.
- Monitor patient’s physiologic status.
- Assess patient’s pain level and administers appropriate pain relief measures.
- Maintains patient’s safety(airway, circulation, prevention of injury)
- Administer medication, fluid and blood component therapy, if prescribed.
- Assess patient’s readiness for transfer to in hospital unit or for discharge home based on institutional policy.
This post includes several nursing care plans for post-TAHBSO patients.
