Summary
This study tested a new surgical method to remove very large uteri (over 20 weeks size) during total laparoscopic hysterectomy. The technique uses a cold knife to cut the uterus into a long strip that can be pulled out through the vagina, avoiding large abdominal incisions. Twenty women with benign uterine disease participated. The main goal was to measure the total time of the operation.
