Comparison of total laparoscopic hysterectomy (TLH) and laparoscopy-assisted supracervical hysterectomy (LASH) in women with uterine leiomyoma. Mueller A, Renner SP, Haeberle L, Lermann J, Oppelt P, Beckmann MW, Thiel F. Eur J Obstet Gynecol Reprod Biol. 2009 Mar 5.OBJECTIVE: To compare total laparoscopic hysterectomy (TLH) using the Hohl instrument with laparoscopy-assisted supracervical hysterectomy (LASH) in women with uterine leiomyoma. STUDY DESIGN: 231 women underwent laparoscopic hysterectomy for the treatment of symptomatic leiomyoma between January 2005 and December 2007. A total of 113 women decided to undergo complete hysterectomy with removal of the cervix (TLH group) and 118 women wished to preserve the cervix; LASH was carried out in the latter group (LASH group). CONCLUSIONS: TLH using the Hohl instrument is an option comparable with laparoscopy-assisted supracervical hysterectomy for women with uterine leiomyoma. However, the complication rates may be lower when LASH is performed. PubMed
