Abstract
OBJECTIVE
To evaluate the effectiveness and the safety of vaginal total hysterectomy.
METHODS
We reviewed the medical records of the 110 patients who underwent vaginal total hysterectomy for the indications other than uterine prolapse from August 2001 to September 2002 at our hospital.
RESULTS
The average operating time was 48.7 minutes (range from 20 min to 180 min) and the mean uterine weight was 331 gram (range from 60 g to 890 g). The most common indication for hysterectomy was uterine myoma (59%). No serious complications were occurred but conversion to laparotomy was occurred in 1 case.
CONCLUSION
Vaginal total hysterectomy would be recommended method for removing uterus even in the absence of prolapse and previous operation history.
