LESS LAVH was performed using a commercially available four-channel, single-port system. A rigid, 0-degree, 5 mm laparoscope was used.
Conventional LAVH was performed using three ports; a 12, 10, and 5-mm port was placed in the umbilicus, left lower quadrant, and suprapubic area, respectively. A rigid, 0-degree, 12 mm laparoscope was introduced through 12mm port of umbilicus.
