Abstract
SummaryA partial hysterectomy technique is described which aims to reduce tissue trauma and speed recovery. The first 50 women who underwent this supravaginal hysterectomy were compared with 50 who had a routine total abdominal hysterectomy. The groups were not allocated at random. The supravaginal hysterectomy involved shorter operating time (45 minutes versus 57 minutes mean), and a shorter stay in hospital. Although no differences in urinary symptoms were noted, sexual satisfaction following the supravaginal procedure was found to be more than after the total abdominal hysterectomy.
