    Abstract:
    The aim of the study is to evaluate the laparoscopically assisted vaginal hysterectomy (LAVH) in terms of indications, uterine size, surgical procedures and their safety, intraoperative complications and blood loss, operative time, concomitant surgical procedures and postoperative period of complications. A total of 25 patients underwent LAVH between 1998 and 1993, in our surgical unit. The mean age of our patients was 44.2 years (range 36-66). The most common indication was fibromyoma. The mean size of the removed uterus was 11.5 cm. The mean weight was about 242 g. The mean estimated blood loss was 155 ml and the mean operative time 150 min. Intraoperative complications included one case of bladder injury due to thick adhesions. Postoperative complications included 2 cases of cystitis, and 3 cases of ileus. The hospital stay was 2 to 7 days.
