The benign indications of procedure were as follows: symptomatic uterine leiomyomas 2218\/5683 (39.02%), pelvic organ prolapse 1406\/5683 (24.74%), symptomatic endometriosis or adenomyosis 1132\/5683 (19.91%), and 927\/5683 (16.31%) to treat other benign conditions such as abnormal uterine bleeding, infection, polyps, and endometrial hyperplasia without atypia. In minimally invasive surgery subgroups, 1560\/2621 (59.52%) specimens were removed by in-bag manual morcellation through vaginal cuff. The mean operative time of minimally invasive surgery with in-bag morcellation was shorter than abdominal hysterectomy (96.75\u2009\u00b1\u200935.7 vs. 140\u2009\u00b1\u200932.6, <jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic>\u2009&lt;\u2009.001), and the estimated blood loss was also less than abdominal hysterectomy (47.35\u2009\u00b1\u200942.3 vs. 170\u2009\u00b1\u200960.4, <jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic>\u2009&lt;\u2009.001).
