to the morphological changes of the uterus and adnexa. Therefore, it is important
to assess the deviation from standard and the difficulties in the procedure and to
plan the modification of the operation at the preoperative conference. In this chapter,
a standard step-by-step procedure for abdominal hysterectomy is described.
