Minilaparotomy hysterectomy
Article Abstract:
A minilaparotomy hysterectomy may be effective in some women. In this technique, the uterus is removed through a 2.5-inch incision in the abdomen. Most abdominal hysterectomies involve a 4- to 6-inch incision. In a study of 250 women undergoing a hysterectomy, 26 women were eligible to have a minilaparotomy hysterectomy. Most were up and walking within an average of one day and the average hospital stay was 3.4 days.
