Multicenter StudyLaparoscopic hysterectomy in the presence of previous caesarean section: a review of one hundred forty-one cases in the Sydney West Advanced Pelvic Surgery Unit.
To examine whether laparoscopic hysterectomy is safe in the presence of previous caesarean section (CS). ⋯ Laparoscopic hysterectomy in the setting of previous CS is recommended because long-term sequelae are rare. There are higher rates of major complications in patients undergoing laparoscopic hysterectomy with previous CS; the higher the number of previous CS, the higher the rate of complications. The most significant increase is seen in patients with more than 2 previous CS.
