Effect of adhesions on laparoscopically-assisted vaginal hysterectomy outcome: a 10-year retrospective, comparative study of 1683 consecutive cases

LAVH could be considered a safe and feasible surgical approach for women without genital prolapse who have preoperative peritoneal adhesions and require vaginal hysterectomy for benign gynaecological conditions. This approach facilitates the localisation and treatment of adhesions at the commencement of surgery, as well as the control of possible injuries that may arise during the procedure, and is associated with a low complication rate.
