Abstract
With the technique of total laparoscopic hysterectomy described in this paper all the instruments are re‐usable and haemostasis is secured with bipolar coagulation. It is a safe technique whose cost is comparable to that of vaginal or abdominal hysterectomies. The routine use of disposable equipment and automatic disposable staplers for laparoscopic hysterectomies is very debatable as the considerable increase in cost is not accompanied by any benefit for patients or society.
