Laparoscopic Supracervical Hysterectomy - LSH

This outpatient procedure involves laparoscopic removal of the uterine body, and the patient is able to keep her cervix. The patient can either keep her ovaries or have them removed at the same time. Pelvic supports are left intact. Since there is no vaginal incision, there is less contamination by vaginal bacteria. This outpatient approach is associated with less pain, fewer adhesions, and a quicker recovery than the open approach. This is a nice way to manage a large fibroid uterus without having to do a big incision. Other conditions, such as endometriosis and adhesions, can be treated at the same time.
