METHODE: 45 benign gynecologic diseased patients who hysterectomized with Pfannelstiel's skin incision and PCA (patient controlled analgesics). 30 patients were laparotomized, and 15 patients were minilapartomized. We analyzed the data of this patients for age, parity, duration of operation, the weight of the uterus, change of the hemoglobin, removal time of foley catheter, starting time of regular diet, initial time of ambulation and discharge date. RESULT: Minilaparotomy hysterectomized patients have lesser bleeding and show more rapid recovery of bowel movement and bladder function. And they experience lesser pain than the other group.
