Abstract

This is a retrospective observational study of outcome of 11 cases of vaginal hysterectomy for undescended and enlarged uterus carried in University Hospital, Kuala Lumpur. The cases included relative contraindications such as 14 weeks size fibroids, severe obesity, previous Caesarean section and nulliparity. All the eight patients agreeable for prophylactic bilateral salpingoophorectomy had their ovaries removed. Operative time ranged from 1 hr 20 min to 2 hr 15 min. All patients were sent home within 48 hours of the operation. The excellent outcome of our initial experience highlights the known advantages of vaginal hysterectomy for undescended and enlarged uterus.
