  • Title: [Vaginal hysterectomy for non-prolapse uterus].
    Author: Blanc B, Cravello L, Cohen D, Roger V, Bretelle F.
    Journal: Bull Acad Natl Med; 1999; 183(1):107-15. PubMed ID: 10371770.
    Abstract:
    Vaginal hysterectomy in the treatment of non prolapsed uterus without malignant disease is a well codified technique. Per operative complications, post operative morbidity are less frequent and less serious than by abdominal surgery and convalescent time is less extended. Financial cost is lower compared with laparoscopic hysterectomy. The successful result of the vaginal way is determined by anatomic factors: volume and mobility of the uterus, accessibility of the vagina, but above all by the training of the surgeons. A rate of seventy per cent of hysterectomies performed by the vaginal way in the case of this indication is a realistic aim in a hospital center.
