title: Laparoscopic hysterectomy: how should it be done?
abstract: A laparoscopic hysterectomy technique is described using standard acceptable surgical technique, and with the primary tool being the Multifire Endo-GIA 30 stapler (U.S. Surgical Corp., Norwalk, CT, U.S.A.). Unlike the use of electrosurgical desiccation, use of this stapler provides a safe and effective method that can be used by all laparoscopic surgeons.
