title: [Hysterectomy for fibroids].
abstract: Occasionally, the indicated treatment for cases of fibroid uterus is a hysterectomy. Surgical approaches for hysterectomy include abdominal, vaginal or laparoscopic. The determinant for selecting the surgical approach is uterine weight. In this article, we conducted a review of studies that compared the various surgical techniques for hysterectomy, as well as the steps to consider when performing a laparoscopic hysterectomy in large uteri.
