Aim: The aim of the study was to compare the effects of total laparoscopic hysterectomy with those of vaginal hysterectomy.
Methods: We conducted a prospective randomised trial on 400 patients who agreed to be randomized to either laparoscopic total hysterectomy or vaginal hysterectomy. They were monitored for one year to evaluate the rate of major complications and the results on quality of life.
