Laparoscopic supracervical hysterectomy for benign gynecologic conditions.
Recent results from metaanalyses and observational studies have suggested that total abdominal hysterectomy (TAH) is superior to laparoscopic supracervical hysterectomy (LSH) for the treatment of benign gynecologic conditions. However, because LSH is associated with fewer intraoperative complications, shorter operative time, and preserves patient anatomy and sexual function in comparison with TAH, clinicians should reconsider the benefits of LSH.
