Hysterectomy is one of the most common gynecological operations performed worldwide. Hysterectomy comes from the Greek word Hysteria that means ‘a cutting out of’. Removal of the uterus renders the individual unable to bear children. So surgical treatment is normally recommended when other treatments are not available.
When the uterus is removed completely through vagina it’s called Vaginal Hysterectomy. Non descent vaginal hysterectomy is performed entirely through the vaginal canal when there is no genital prolapse.
Vaginal Hysterectomy is a technique that had already been introduced and performed centuries ago. Common indications for non-descent vaginal hysterectomy are dysfunctional uterine bleeding, heavy bleeding with clots, fibroids, adenomyosis.
