Vaginal hysterectomy, for uterus 250 g or less

AI EXPLANATION: A vaginal hysterectomy is a surgical procedure to remove the uterus through the vaginal canal rather than through incisions in the abdomen. This approach is typically used when the uterus is normal-sized or slightly enlarged, generally weighing approximately half a pound or less. Because the surgery is performed entirely through the natural vaginal opening, there are no external abdominal scars.
