The feasibility and benefits of minimally invasive hysterectomy for large uterus

A uterus with a size of 18 to 20 weeks or more is generally considered a large uterus by most gynecological surgeons. Therefore, laparotomy, rather than minimally invasive surgery, is commonly performed to remove the uterus. However, it is well established that minimally invasive surgery offers numerous benefits to patients compared to laparotomy. Uterine size should not be an excluding factor for minimally invasive surgery.
