“…Furthermore, in the current review, the NDVH group demonstrated less blood loss and a shorter mean operating time than the TLH group. These findings were found to be similar to previous studies [ 4 , 7 , 21 , 23 - 26 ]. In contrast, Aniuliene et al performed a retrospective analysis that reported less blood loss during TLH compared to NDVH [ 27 ].…”

Hysterectomy, which can be conducted through abdominal or vaginal routes, is one of the most common gynecological procedures performed worldwide. When the patient is not able to undergo a vaginal hysterectomy due to contraindications involving a narrow pelvis or endometriosis and technical difficulties, laparoscopic removal of the uterus is the recommended method over abdominal hysterectomy. Additionally, the type of surgery depends on the expertise of the surgeon. Therefore, this systematic review aimed to evaluate different measures related to total laparoscopic (TLH) versus non-descent vaginal hysterectomy (NDVH) in women with benign uterine pathologies. ScienceDirect, PubMed, and Google Scholar databases were searched from 2019 to 2023 for a literature review using keywords including “Non-descent Vaginal Hysterectomy,” AND “Total Laparoscopic Hysterectomy,” AND “Benign Uterine Pathologies.” This systematic review includes five studies based on the selection criteria. The data were extracted and a quality assessment of the studies was performed. The review concluded that NDVH has an advantage over TLH as a scarless surgery performed in a very short period and with minimum blood loss with fewer complications and in terms of cost-effectiveness. However, the postoperative parameters and satisfaction with the TLH technique were better than the NDVH technique, but the procedure was much more time-consuming and needed laparoscopic surgical expertise. The duration of hospitalization in NDVH and TLH was nearly the same. Furthermore, both techniques could be employed for salpingo-oophorectomy or when there are adnexal masses and adhesions present; however, TLH may be the best course of action.
