  • Chapter
  • First Online:
Minimally Invasive Gynecology

Abstract

Laparoscopic hysterectomy, defined as the laparoscopic ligation of the uterine vessels, is a substitute for abdominal hysterectomy, with more attention to ureteral identification and cuff suspension. Laparoscopic hysterectomy (LH) is rarely indicated for the treatment of abnormal uterine bleeding (AUB) from a normal-sized uterus with no other associated pathologies! Most of these cases can be done vaginally without the use of a laparoscope [1].
