Scientific title
Study objectivesThe project aims to determine by means of a randomised controlled trial the operative problems, benefits, complications and costs of laparoscopic hysterectomy compared to those associated with both conventional abdominal and vaginal methods of hysterectomy. It will be a multicentre study of 1800 cases collected over an 18 month period by surgeons with differing skill levels from a variety of centres. The study will last for 3 years and will include follow-up assessments at 6 weeks, 3 months, 6 months, and 1 year. The effects of training and experience on outcome will be determined. The objectives of the study are to define the place of laparoscopic hysterectomy in gynaecology and to identify the short-term advantages and disadvantages of this approach for both the patients and the NHS.
