Selective cauterization of supporting ligaments at Non Descent Vaginal Hysterectomy (NDVH)

Background The objective of the study was to study the use of electrocautery selectively for cardinal uterosacral ligament complex during NDVH.

Methods We performed a series of NDVH where electrocautery was used selectively for the uterosacral cardinal ligament complex. Rest all stumps were clamped, divided and ligated.

Results We did a series of 21 cases using this technique and found this as a very effective method of doing NDVH. There were no major complications.

Conclusion Selective use of electrocautery for uterosacral and cardinal ligament complex makes NDVH easy.
