Table 1. Factors that affect choice of surgical route for hysterectomy
Uterine size
Weight >280 g versus <280 g
Uterine attachments
History or presence of:
* Endometriosis
* Adnexal disease
* Chronic pelvic pain
* Adhesions
* Previous pelvic surgery
* Chronic pelvic inflammatory disease
Anatomic accessibility
Bituberous diameter <9 cm
Pubic arch <90°
Narrow vagina (less than two fingerbreadths, especially at the apex) or an undescended uterus
Uterine size
An enlarged uterus has commonly been considered a contraindication to vaginal hysterectomy. How large is "large"? Unless uterine reduction techniques have been used, ACOG and various researchers have specified that abdominal hysterectomy is indicated for a uterus that is 12 weeks' gestational size (280 g) or larger (7,8,11,14). However, 85% to 90% of all uteri removed for various indications do not exceed 280 g. Surgeons appear to have varying comfort levels regarding transvaginal removal of a uterus larger than normal (70 g), which may reflect their practice style and experience rather than adherence to ACOG guidelines.
The uterus can be measured in vivo by using simple transvaginal ultrasound techniques and algebraic data to determine the size expressed in weights and measurements. The weight data provide a more precise preoperative measure of uterine size, thus giving a more objective method for selecting the most appropriate surgical approach to hysterectomy .
