RESUMEN
Objective To evaluate the clinical results of patients submitted to laparoscopic assisted supracervical hysterectomy for benign uterine disease.Methods Women referred for supracervical hysterectomy for benign uterine diseases were divided into laparoscopy group(n=34)or open group(n=30).The operative time,blood loss,complications,morbidity,ileus,wound infections were compared between the two groups.Results In terms of Operative time,both of total operative time and oophosalpingorectomy time,there was no significant difference between laparoscopic group and open group.Less blood loss was found in laparoscopic group than open group.No complications were found in both groups.Conclusions Laparoscopic assisted supracervical hysterectomy is a safer and easier approach to complete supracervical hysterectomy with reduced blood loss and quick convalescence.It can be successfully integrated into a large health maintenance organization/residency-training program.
