Locul histerectomiei laparoscopice în patologia benignă ginecologică

The first hysterectomy described in the literature was performed by Conrad Langenbeck through vaginal approach in 1813. The first abdominal hysterectomy was conducted in Manchester by Charles Clay in 1863 and involved a supracervical approach. The laparoscopically assisted vaginal hysterectomy was first performed in 1989 by Harry Reich and he also performed the first total laparoscopic hysterectomy. Robotic-assisted hysterectomies have been performed since 1998.
