CARMONA GARCIA, José Luis. Análisis de 100 casos de histerectomía vaginal en pacientes sin prolapso uterino. Rev Obstet Ginecol Venez [online]. 2016, vol.76, n.1, pp.4-10. ISSN 0048-7732.

Objectives: To evaluate utility of vaginal hysterectomy as surgical technique for benign uterine diseases, in patients without prolapse. Methods: Between October 2011 and February 2013, an observational, descriptive, longitudinal, prospective case series study was made. 100 patients with benign uterine diseases, without prolapse, treated with vaginal hysterectomy with Heany and volumen reduction techniques at San Cristobal Central Hospital Dr. Jose Maria Vargas”, Gynecology Department were included. Results: Uterine miomatosis was the most frequent indication. Previous cesarean section was the most importan surgical history. Mean uterine weight was 281.22 g. Volumen reduction techniques were performed in 41 % of patients. One case needed conversion to open surgery. Introperative complicacions were 2 %. Surgical time was short and postoperative pain was low. Conclusions: Without uterine prolapse, vaginal hysterectomy has few intra and postoperative complications, with short surgical time; when the procedure is correctly done, uterine size should not be a limiting feature.
