[Personal experience with laparoscopic hysterectomy].

The authors report their experience with 132 patients operated in the Boskovice hospital in the last two years. Their method-supracervical laparoscopic hysterectomy with removal of the cervical transformation zone and endocervix. All procedures were successfully completed laparoscopically. The authors analysed their cases according to the intraoperative, immediate postoperative and late postoperative complications. Average operating time is compatible with that of conventional total abdominal or vaginal hysterectomy and LAVH. The authors evaluated blood loss, hospital stay, recovery time, pain and cosmetic considerations. This method may be sufficient for cervical and endometrial cancer prophylaxis, because of thorough histologic examination and interpretation of morcellated cervical-cylinders and uterine body tissue.
