Abstract

Objective

To evaluate the feasibility of laparoscopic supracervical hysterectomy (LSH) by single port access (SPA) with transcervical morcellation.

Study design

Observational study conducted between September 2010 and March 2012 in two departments of Gynaecology. Forty women who required hysterectomy underwent LSH by SPA with transcervical morcellation.

Results

LSH by SPA with transcervical morcellation was completed successfully in 37/40 (93.5 %) patients. Mean operating time was 128 (±55) min and mean hospital stay was 3.5 (±1) days. The mean of uterus weight was 310 (±214) g. The mean estimated blood loss was 250 (±110) ml. Four women (10 %) required a second surgical intervention including two cases of endocervical bleeding.

Conclusion

LSH by SPA with transcervical morcellation is a feasible procedure.
