Objectives:
Describe the simplified technique we use for vaginal hysterectomy and report results from a retrospective series of 490 patients operated on between 1990 and 1998.
Material:
and methods. The following parameters were studied: peroperative surgical complications, blood loss, infection, thromboembolism, and morbidity after one month.
Results:
Our series demonstrated the same rate of complications (20.7%) as reported in the literature.
Conclusion:
This simplified technique for hysterectomy saves time and requires less operative assistance without changing outcome in terms of morbidity.
