- Abstract
BACKGROUND: In Finland, the number of hysterectomies during one decade has decreased by 34%. The national prospective FINHYST study in 1996 showed abdominal hysterectomy (AH) as being most common: 58%. In Finland since 2002, vaginal hysterectomy (VH) has been most preferred, with laparoscopic hysterectomy (LH) surpassing AH in 2005.
