Vaginal Hysterectomy by Anterior Delivery of the Uterine Corpus

Abstract
Of 285 vaginal hysterectomies done by a modification of the Doderlein-Kronig technic, almost 70% of patients had an intraoperative blood loss of less than 200 ml. Only four required transfusions. A postoperative pelvic abscess was the only severe infection, and it responded to treatment. One patient had a ruptured ectopic pregnancy 46 days after hysterectomy. Advantages of this procedure are good anatomic exposure and minimal blood loss.
