I don't think it's a ruptured appendix.

The palace said this was a 'planned surgery'. Ruptured appendix is unplanned/emergency.

Also a two week hospital stay post-surgery is pretty serious.

All I can say is I bet none of us woke up this morning thinking we would be arguing about what type of laparoscopic surgeries a London hospital performs.

Your post did not talk about it not being a specialty, it said, IN CAPS, The London Clinic does NOT do hysterectomies, nor have 'gynaecology'.

I simply hoped to clarify that despite your seemingly factual and CAPITALIZED words, this was inaccurate.

No, I said it doesn't have a gyn department. And it doesn't.

#1 would not be a planned operation. If your appendix ruptures, that's most definitely an emergency operation where minutes count.

Could she have diverticulitis and her planned surgery was to remove a portion of her colon?

#2 wouldn't be performed at London Clinic. A keyhole hysterectomy is what is used for uncomplicated cases and would never required a known 10-14 day hospital stay.

2 weeks is very serious. And then recovery until after Easter (~3 months). William cutting back schedule significantly.

She hasn't been seen since Christmas day.

re: colon cancer

I had a tumor spotted during a CT scan prior to a planned colonoscopy. I was 41 at the time.

Within 48 hours, I was undergoing an emergency colonoscopy to verify the tumor was cancerous. I could have been in surgery a week later, but that date didn't work out. It was about 2 weeks between the Monday phone call from my doc about the results of my Saturday CT scan and surgery to remove the cancerous tumor (I got the result while doing my cleanse for my surgery)

I was only in the hospital for 3 days IIRC. The recovery time was one month.

I would not consider a keyhole hysterectomy for prolapse to be abdominal surgery and the cut-and-paste you posted actually specifically said that they aim to use a non-abdominal entry. The kind of hysterectomy that would be described as abdominal surgery is not something TLC does. And it is accurate that The London Clinic doesn't have a gyn department.

I'm thinking similar. I'm the one who had a father that went in straight from the colonoscopy to surgery (never left the hospital). This was about 6-8 years ago so it might not have been 'next' day-but it was within 48 hours. PP, I hope you are doing well now!

My neighbor had some digestive issues late summer/early Fall. Went into the hospital with what they thought was a blood clot--leg. IT wouldn't resolve. Upon further investigation she had stage-4 colon cancer (late December). She passed away this week. No idea about the cancer prior. I don't think this is likely with Kate--but throwing it out there because it certainly happens and CC is on the significant rise in younger populations.

I don't think anyone is suggesting this is a laparoscopic surgery.

DP. They already said it wasn’t cancerous.

"No, I said it doesn't have a gyn department. And it doesn't."

Oh my word, such total dedication to being 'right' when most of what you wrote was completely inaccurate yet stated as fact.

If I could be further bothered I'd regoogle and prob find it does have a 'department'. I wonder what 'department' the medics working in 'women's health' and the surgeons performing the hysterectomies would say they are part of? But WAIT, maybe it's called a section, or a specialism or...OK..you are right. You really are. You can't be wrong. Thank goodness you are here to keep us all informed with your CAPS and unequivocal statements.

My sibling was at this hospital.

Nothing from you to say thanks, and no 'oh I was incorrect, oops'. Dislike teaching similar mindsets. I like being wrong and often am.

Yeah. I'm not sure I buy anything that comes from 'they' aka the palace machine. But, I certainly hope it's true and she does not have cancer.
