AIM: The aim of this investigation was to analyze the feasibility and postoperative outcome of laparoscopic supracervical hysterectomy (LASH) with and without bilateral salpingectomy. PATIENTS AND METHODS: Between February and October 2012, a total of 25 patients were prospectively enrolled to undergo LASH with bilateral salpingectomy. A retrospective cohort of 25 matched patients who underwent LASH without bilateral salpingectomy at our Institution, performed by the same surgeon, served as the control collective. RESULTS: Comparing both collectives, there were no statistically significant differences concerning overall hospital stay, duration of surgery and blood loss. CONCLUSION: LASH with bilateral salpingectomy is a fast and safe procedure.
