AB  - The  first  laparoscopic  hysterectomy  was  performed  by  Dr  Harry  Reich  in  1988.1  Since  then,  12%  to  14%  of  hysterectomies  for  benign  disease  in  the  United  States  are  now  performed  through  a  laparoscopic  approach.2,3  Professional  societies  encourage  the  use  of  minimally  invasive  techniques  for  hysterectomy  when  appropriate  due  to  decreased  morbidity  compared  with  an  abdominal  approach.4,5  The  American  Congress  of  Obstetricians  and  Gynecologists  state  that  “vaginal  hysterectomy  is  the  approach  of  choice  whenever  feasible,”  and  “laparoscopic  hysterectomy  is  an  alternative  to  abdominal  hysterectomy  for  those  patients  in  whom  a  vaginal  hysterectomy  is  not  indicated  or  feasible.”5
