Abstract
Object To determine the safety of laparoscopic‐assisted vaginal (LAVH) in a district general hospital. Design Retrospective analysis. Setting District general hospital in the UK. Subjects A total of 119 LAVH patients, who were unsuitable for vaginal hysterectomy according to conventional British criteria. Result The mean operating time taken was 91 min. Mean duration of stay was 2.2 days. The overall complication rate was 7.5%; most complications were of a minor nature. Conclusions We feel that in experienced hands LAVH is a safe procedure and, within our indications, is the hysterectomy method of choice in the district hospital setting.
