The current trial evaluates the performance and short-term postoperative outcomes of these two approaches for hysterectomy in Ain Shams University Maternity Hospital, a major tertiary hospital in Greater Cairo, and one of Egypt's leading centers in terms of provision of public medical service.~Eighty patients with benign indications, with no contraindications to neither laparoscopic nor vaginal approaches, were randomized into two equal groups, to undergo either of the two procedures: LH or VH.
This study is designed to compare laparoscopic and vaginal hysterectomy in women with benign gynaecological disease in Ain Shams University Maternity Hospital.
