Subtotal hysterectomy, leaving the cervix intact, can be safely performed vaginally. This approach offers potential benefits for pelvic organ function compared to traditional hysterectomy methods.
Area of Science:
- Gynecology
- Minimally Invasive Surgery
- Surgical Techniques
Background:
- Cervix removal during hysterectomy is not always necessary.
- Evidence supporting total hysterectomy's superiority in pelvic organ function is lacking.
- Subtotal hysterectomy preserves the cervix.
Purpose of the Study:
- To evaluate the feasibility and outcomes of vaginal subtotal hysterectomy.
- To explore an alternative surgical approach for benign gynecological diseases.
Main Methods:
- Retrospective case series of 9 patients.
- Subtotal hysterectomy performed via the vaginal route.
- Focus on benign gynecological conditions.
Main Results:
- Successful completion of vaginal subtotal hysterectomy in all 9 cases.
- Demonstrated feasibility of the vaginal approach for this procedure.
Conclusions:
- Vaginal subtotal hysterectomy is a viable surgical option for benign gynecological diseases.
- This approach may offer advantages over traditional abdominal or laparoscopic routes.
- Further research is warranted to confirm long-term benefits.
