Abstract
Laparoscopic hysterectomy is one of the most common treatment for uterine fibroids. According to resection range, hysterectomy can be total or supracervical. Almost all the laparoscopic hysterectomy due to fibroids can be performed by laparoscopy, but hysterectomy of a large uterus requires power morcellation to facilitate removal, which links to an increased risk of disseminating occult malignancy into the abdominal and peritoneal cavities, and it has become a main reason for restriction of laparoscopic hysterectomy. The crucial part of laparoscopic hysterectomy is good exposure and proper processing of the vessels, the bladder and ureters. To achieve better exposure and operating space, the use of a uterine manipulator and placement of Trocars are important.
