Review[Complete hysterectomy for benign pathology and laparoscopy: respective indications of laparoscopic preparation and an exclusively laparoscopic approach].
According to whether uterine artery treatment takes place vaginally or laparoscopically, laparoscopy for hysterectomy can be considered according to two modalities: laparoscopically assisted vaginal hysterectomy (LAVH) and total laparoscopic hysterectomy (TLH). The indications for laparoscopy are defined by the limits and/or contraindications of the vaginal route. ⋯ Laparoscopy thus allows to reduce the number of laparotomies. When on overage three quarters of the hysterectomies (excluding cases of uterogenital prolapse) were up till now performed abdominally, laparoscopy could reduce this rate to approximately 10%.
