Retrospective analysis was performed of associations between minimally invasive hysterectomy (MIH) and lymph vascular space invasion or malignant peritoneal cytology.
There was no difference in lymph vascular space invasion or malignant cytology rates between abdominal hysterectomy (n=244) and MIH (n=214).
MIH was associated with an increased rate of atypical or inconclusive cytology compared to TAH (8% versus 2.5%; p=0.014).
