Abstract

To review the limitations, major complications, and conversion rates associated with non-descent vaginal hysterectomy (NDVH); and develop a scoring system to predict the possibility of successful NDVH. The risk analysis of conversion rates from vaginal to abdominal route while attempting NDVH was applied to formulate a scoring system for the assessment of successful NDVH. Parameters were selected based on Kovacs guidelines to determine the route of hysterectomy. From April 2005 to December 2008, NDVH was attempted in 364/1,378 women undergoing hysterectomy for benign conditions (Gp-I). Eight out of 364 cases (2.1 %) either had to be converted to the abdominal route or had major complication. Endometriosis and repeated sections had the highest risk. Scoring system was developed based on the risk analysis. Validity of this scoring system was tested in 1,177 women from January 2009 to September 2012 (Gp-II). 460 women with a score of 16 or less underwent NDVH successfully with a conversion rate of 0.2 %. Careful assessment by a simple scoring system can help in deciding the feasibility of performing NDVH.
