Randomized study of bipolar vessel sealing system versus conventional suture ligature for vaginal hysterectomy.

Objective: This study was undertaken to compare the use of bipolar vessel sealing system (BVSS) with conventional suture ligature in vaginal hysterectomy (VH) on a non-prolapsed uterus.

Study Design: Women referred for VH for uterine myoma were randomized to BVSS (n=45) or conventional suture ligature VH (n=45). Exclusion criteria were uterine prolapse and indication associated surgical procedures.
