We conducted a retrospective analysis of 29 consecutive patients undergoing laparoscopic supracervical hysterectomy to compare outcomes using the endostapler (15 women) versus harmonic scissors (14). Both instruments resulted in similar outcomes with regard to operating room time, blood loss, and hospital stay. The harmonic scissors have the advantage of decreasing patient cost compared with th...

Laparoscopic supracervical hysterectomy (LASH) is a safe and fast minimally invasive approach in hysterectomy. In order to extract the uterine body from the abdominal cavity, one condition for LASH is the morcellation of the tissue. The intra-abdominal dissemination of benign and occult malignant uterine cells is a possible risk of this method, which can be avoided by the use of special bags fo...
