We reviewed the chart and analyzed these cases about age, parity, clinical indication, operation type, duration of hospitalization, operation time and complication. RESULTS: The results of this study were summarized as follows 1. The mean age of patients was 32.1 years old with ranges between 15 and 54 years old. 2. The mean parity of the patients was 1.33. 3. The common indications were ectopic pregnancy (33.5%), ovarian cyst (28.4%) and uterine myoma (16.5%). 4. The frequent types of surgery were salpingectomy (23.2%), adnexectomy (22.6%) and laparoscopy assisted vaginal hysterectomy (LAVH) (13.9%). 5. The operation time was variable according to the types of operation and difficulty. 6. The mean duration of hospitalization was 4.17 days. 7.
