According to the records of the Royal College of Obstetricians and Gynaecologists (1990) more than 80,000 hysterectomies were performed in the UK during 1990. Minimally invasive procedures are replacing conventional hysterectomies in ever-increasing numbers. This article describes the techniques and considers whether the trend is a welcome one.
