In most cases the laparoscopic technique is favoured compared to conventional techniques in patients with the previous mentioned risk factors. However, severe obesity in combination with COPD is itself a limiting factor for a laparoscopic approach to hysterectomy.\nThe presence of deep infiltrating endometriosis in patients with an indication for hysterectomy requires a preparation technique equivalent to the surgical technique of radical hysterectomy. These technically difficult and complex interventions should be performed in centres with great surgical expertise.\nAccess this chapter\nTax calculation will be finalised at checkout\nPurchases are for personal use only\nSimilar content being viewed by others\nReferences\nMorgan-Ortiz F, Soto-Pineda JM, López-Zepeda MA, Peraza-Garay FJ.
