In 50 women without cervical pathology, a SCLH was performed with extraction of the uterus by means of a posterior colpotomy under endoscopic visual guidance. All cases were performed after a diagnosis of dysfunctional uterine bleeding or uterine leiomyomata and treatment with GnRH analogs for 3 months. Uterine fundal measurements ranged from 6-10 cm in greatest diameter. Results, including operating time, blood loss, subjective feelings of nausea, emesis, oral tolerance, and resumption of ambulation were all evaluated in the immediate postoperative period. All patients resumed their normal daily activities at 6 to 10 days postoperatively. A preliminary report addressing sexual function and satisfaction at 3 months postoperatively as compared with the preoperative period was developed. No difference in experience was noted. An economic evaluation was performed at the Clinica Ginemedex that revealed a 30% savings in terms of postoperative care and medication when performing a SCLH as opposed to the more conventional total laparoscopic hysterectomy (LH). SCLH appears to offer several advantages over total LH.

One hundred women without cervical lesions underwent hysterectomies for uterine myomas or menometrorrhagia unresponsive to medical therapy after being randomized into two groups (50 for LH and 50 for SCLH), uterine fundal measurements were 6 to 10 cm in greatest diameter. We evaluated operating time, blood loss, the postoperative incidence of nausea and emesis, the need for analgesics, and resumption of oral tolerance and ambulation. Using the Student t Test, a clinically statistically significant improvement was noted in the quality of the postoperative period in women undergoing SCLH as compared with those undergoing LH. Patients undergoing SCLH reported feeling 'less castrate' than those undergoing traditional total LH.
