Being quite experienced in the field of gynaecologic surgery and hysterectomies especially, being familiar with recent innovations in laparoscopic surgery and also having some own experience in laparoscopic surgery, the authors discuss the advantages and disadvantages of all surgical methods of hysterectomy. Comparing the techniques, the duration, bearing in mind the the risks, overall costs and all other surgical details, the authors concluded that laparoscopically assisted vaginal hysterectomy is the best choice because it is the least invasive, less risky, no scars are left, the postoperative recovery is quick, there are numerous indications for it, the preparation obtained as a whole can be used for further clinical examination. The only disadvantage is it is too costly and sometimes the operation itself lasts too long, so it should not be applied in some cases.
