Most women are candidates for this procedure when considering a hysterectomy for nonmalignant diagnoses. Patients not generally considered optimal candidates for LSH are women with history of cervical dysplasia or endometriosis near the cervix. Additionally, if the uterus is very large due to fibroids, it may not be possible to perform this type of hysterectomy. Find a doctor who can perform laparoscopic hysterectomy.
