VAGINAL VERSUS ABDOMINAL HYSTERECTOMY FOR BENIGN CONDITIONS

ABSTRACT Hysterectomy is the commonest gynaecological surgery performed in women. Present study involved 43 patients undergoing hysterectomy for benign condition. Out of 43 patients vaginal hysterectomy were performed in 26 cases and rest of the cases were performed by abdominal route. Out of 26 vaginal hysterectomy a case was converted into abdominal hysterectomy because of preoperative urinary bladder injury. Keeping all complications in mind we suggest that selective women requiring a hysterectomy for menstrual disorders from fibroid uterus or DUB may be offered a choice for vaginal hysterectomy. Key Words: Hysterectomy, uterine leiomyoma
