Abstract 

Laparoendoscopic single-site surgery is an attempt to enhance cosmetic benefits and reduce morbidity of minimally invasive surgery. Total laparoscopic hysterectomy through single-port access has been reported. Supracervical hysterectomy is an alternative to total hysterectomy but requires morcellation, which is challenging through a single umbilical incision. Herein we report and illustrate with a video supracervical hysterectomy performed via single-site laparoscopic surgery with transcervical morcellation after endocervical resection.
