Supracervical Hysterectomy

Laparoscopic Supracervical hysterectomy (LSH) is a MIS procedure in which only the uterus is removed using laparoscopic instruments and the cervix and vagina are preserved unchanged.  During a LSH, the surgeon separates the uterus from the cervix and then removes it through one of the abdominal incisions. Preservation of the cervix and vagina allows for an even quicker recovery and return to full activity. It has been suggested that by retaining the cervix and vagina unchanged, women will maintain better pelvic support. In addition, some women also feel that their sexual response is better maintained by keeping their cervix.
