Abstract
A common terminology for the use of laparoscopy at hysterectomy is nec essary so that collected data can be interpreted and conclusions appli ed. Many procedures are termed laparoscopic hysterectomy regardless of the extent to which laparoscopy is performed. We divided hysterectomy into seven steps and propose a common nomenclature based on the numbe r of steps performed laparoscopically.
