VILLEGAS-ECHEVERRI, Juan D. et al. Ten steps towards a safe and feasible total laparoscopic hysterectomy. Cir. cir. [online]. 2021, vol.89, n.5, pp.624-631.  Epub Oct 03, 2021. ISSN 2444-054X.  https://doi.org/10.24875/ciru.20000845.

Objective:

To contribute to the training of specialists by describing in a systematic and detailed way the ten steps to perform a safe and feasible Total Laparoscopic Hysterectomy (HTL).

Method:

The detailed description of the steps of the HTL intends that this procedure can be safely and effectively reproduced.

Results:

By clearly knowing the steps of HTL, it is possible to favor minimally invasive routes so that patients benefit from its multiple proven benefits.

Conclusions:

The benefits of minimally invasive routes for performing a hysterectomy have already been demonstrated in the literature. It is particularly important that specialists are familiar with these techniques and that groups standardize the procedure so that more patients can safely undergo and benefit from the laparoscopic approach.
