Vaginal hysterectomy combined with liposuction.
Liposuction of the body has been safely combined with vaginal hysterectomy under certain guidelines. Morbidity and length of hospital stay were compared in 50 patients in whom vaginal hysterectomy was the sole procedure performed, with 50 patients in whom vaginal hysterectomy was combined with liposuction at the patient's request. These patients were enrolled in an experimental protocol to evaluate the safety of combining these two procedures. A statistical analysis showed no significant differences in the two groups, indicating that liposuction can be safely combined with uncomplicated vaginal hysterectomy.
