Abstract
We reviewed 1246 vaginal hysterectomies performed at Handa City Hospit
al between January 1984 and December 1996. We divided the patients int
o 2 groups: those with leiomyomas (n = 893) and those with adenomyosis
(n=353). There was no difference in operative time and estimated bloo
d loss between the 2 groups when analyzed by uterine weight. However,
adenomyosis was associated with an increased risk of bladder injury.
