  • Gynecological Surgery
  • Minimally Invasive Procedures

Background:

  • Laparoscopic gynecological surgery has advanced significantly.
  • Laparoscopic hysterectomy has rapidly gained popularity in the last five years.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review the literature on laparoscopic hysterectomy.
  • To critically evaluate indications, limitations, benefits, and risks.

Main Methods:

  • Literature survey and critical evaluation of existing studies on laparoscopic hysterectomy.

Main Results:

  • Laparoscopic hysterectomy shows potential benefits for selected patients requiring abdominal hysterectomy.
  • Evidence suggests it may decrease the overall incidence of laparotomy for hysterectomy.
