| Summary: | The vaginal approach is the natural route of excellence,
also known as “natural orifice hysterectomy” or “no
scar hysterectomy”. It seems to be the current trend
in minimally invasive context for urogynecological
procedure, which follows all criteria of minimally
invasive surgery. Vaginal hysterectomy (VH) is a longpracticed procedure since the fourteenth century
(Berengario de Carpi, 1470–1550). Non-descent vaginal
hysterectomy (NDVH) was introduced later in 1934,
pioneered by Haeney. In the United States, the trend is
now more towards NDVH, especially with the presence
of new tools (vessels sealing device), new techniques
and changes in contraindications of the procedure. |
