No more abdominal hysterectomy for myomata using a new minimally-invasive technique.

ABSTRACT

To perform hysterectomy in uterus myomatosus, there are several surgical techniques. For a uterine weight of >1000 g, after a caesarean section and in nullipara per vaginam, the most common surgical technique for hysterectomy in patients is hysterectomy per laparotomiam. A new endoscopical technique developed to treat such patients and to avoid laparotomy is described in this case report the laparoscopic combined hysterectomy (LACH) using the change-over technique. Adhesiolysis, preparation of the ureters and the bladder and morcellation of the uterus of 2480 g were performed minimally-invasive in two steps, from one side of the patient with a change-over of the OP-team to the other side of the patient. The cervix was removed per vaginam.
