title: [Vaginal hysterectomy in fibroma. Apropos of 453 cases. Retrospective comparison with 509 cases of abdominal hysterectomy].
abstract: The authors present a series of 962 hysterectomies for fibroma carried out between January 1981 and December 1995 in the Department of Gynecology and Obstetrics of CHU Toulouse-La Grave. They carried out 453 vaginal hysterectomies and 509 abdominal hysterectomies. They compared the largest series reported in the literature, between vaginal and abdominal technique. The vaginal route has the obvious advantages of speed of operation, less operative trauma, lower risk of thrombo-embolic disease and the hospital stay is shorter. Laparoscopic assistance allows to extend indications of vaginal route.
