Abstract
There are three approaches to hysterectomy for benign disease - abdominal hysterectomy (AH), vaginal hysterectomy (VH) and laparoscopic hysterectomy (LH). Laparoscopic hysterectomy has three further subdivisions - laparoscopic assisted vaginal hysterectomy (LAVH) where a vaginal hysterectomy is assisted by laparoscopic procedures that do not include uterine artery ligation, laparoscopic hysterectomy (which we will abbreviate to LH(a)) where the laparoscopic procedures include uterine artery ligation, and total laparoscopic hysterectomy (TLH) where there is no vaginal component and the vaginal vault is sutured laparoscopically. To assess the most appropriate surgical approach to hysterectomy. We searched the Cochrane Menstrual Disorders & Subfertility Group's Specialised Register of controlled trials (searched 23 March 2004), CENTRAL (The Cochrane Library Issue 1, 2004), MEDLINE (1966 to Mar 2004), EMBASE (1985 to Mar 2004), Biological Abstracts (1968 to Mar 2004), the National Research Register and relevant citation lists. Only randomised trials comparing one surgical approach to hysterectomy with another were included. Twenty-seven trials that included 3643 participants were included. Independent selection of trials and data e...Continue Reading
