[Abdominal hysterectomy with fixation of the ligaments]

Abdominal hysterectomy with fixation of ligaments has been performed by the authors for 15 years. An analysis of 382 operations of the years 1980-1984 resulted in a course without complications (no fever, no transfusion) in 70 per cent. No mortality and no severe complications have been observed. This method appears to be recommendable.
