Summary

The hypotheses of this study is that the use of the instrument "Harmonic Scalpel" (ultrasonic shears) for vaginal hysterectomy instead of traditional sutures confers advantage over the use of traditional clamps and sutures. The proposed benefits and outcome measures are reduced blood loss, reduced operating time, reduced post-operative pain and earlier discharge from hospital. Other outcome measure will include complications and cost.
