Vaginal hysterectomy

Shirish S Sheth. Best Pract Res Clin Obstet Gynaecol. 2005 Jun.

Abstract

The vaginal route is a safe, feasible, and patient-friendly method of performing a hysterectomy. Proponents and practitioners of vaginal hysterectomy have widened their indications and decreased the contraindications through liberal usage of debulking, performing oophorectomy, laparoscopic evaluation and trial vaginal hysterectomy. This traditional approach with surgical advances can be used more frequently.
