%X Aim: We aimed to compare postoperative vaginal lengths and risk of occurrence of cuff hematoma after laparoscopic and laparotomic hysterectomy operations performed with benign indications according to the operation technique. Material and Methods: Between January 2017 and January 2018, 267 patients who underwent total laparoscopic hysterectomy (TLH) and total abdominal hysterectomy (TAH) with benign indications were evaluated. Before the operation demographic characteristics of the patients, the results of probe curettage, smear results, previous operations and chronic diseases were recorded. After hysterectomy the patients were discharged following 1st and 2nd day controls. The presence of cuff hematoma was evaluated by transvaginal ultrasound on the 7th postoperative day and vaginal lengths were measured after hysterectomy by aid of hegar bougie. Results: There was no significant difference between the two groups of 200 patients, including age, gravida, parity, history of operation, history of chronic disease, and demographic characteristics. Treatment-resistant menometrorrhagia was the most common indication in 44 patients (44%), whereas myoma uteri 96 (96%) were the most common indication in patients with TAH. After hysterectomy, vaginal length was calculated as 6.35 ¡À 0.81 cm in TLH group and 6.73 ¡À 0.92 cm in TAH group. The difference between the two groups was statistically significant (p = 0.002). When the presence of cuff hematoma was evaluated, 14 patients in the TLH group and 18 patients in the TAH group were found to have no significant difference between the groups. Conclusion: It has been observed that the development of hematoma on the vaginal cuff in the postoperative period is not affected by the operation type of the patients performed hysterectomy. In addition, it is observed that the demographic characteristics of the patients in the preoperative period do not have a great effect on the type of operation. In patients performed TLH, the postoperative vaginal length is shorter than in patients with TAH. However, postoperative vaginal length measurement is a criterion that can be evaluated in the second plan. Primarly, surgical option should be determined by considering preoperative indications and its suitability for minimally invasive surgery
