LASH: laparoscopic supracervical (subtotal) hysterectomy

From July 1990 to December 1993, 156 laparoscopic supracervical hysterectomies (LASH) were performed. No complications occurred. The technique and the advantages are described. Because of the easy feasibility of this technique, the quick recovery of the patients and the absence of complications this strictly laparoscopic approach must be widely proposed when an hysterectomy is indicated and no risk of remaining cervix cancer is assumed.
