[Vaginal hysterectomy for corpus carcinoma (author's transl)].
Treatment of 470 patients for endometrial carcinoma is reported in this paper. Operations were performed on 64 per cent of the patients, among them vaginal hysterectomy in 70 per cent of the latter figure. Results are likely to confirm that vaginal removal of the uterus and adnexa provides the lowest surgical risk in the age group with predominance of endometrial carcinoma. Previous gynaecological operations, myomatous uterus, and nulliparity are no contraindications to the vaginal route.
