Both of them lost their priority due to the introduction of endoscopy and robotic surgery. The disappearing abdominal hysterectomy is certainly reasonable, but the decline of using vaginal hysterectomy seems not to be justified, and it is an optimal example of the recent emergence of the Natural Orifice Surgery discipline. A modified method for vaginal hysterectomy is presented in order to encourage gynecologists to reconsider vaginal hysterectomy as a valid method. This method is the outcome of critical analyses of different vaginal hysterectomy methods. It is simple, reasonable, only ten steps, easy to learn, perform and teach, and proven to be a shorter operation with minimal blood loss and reduced need for analgesics when compared to the traditional way. Endoscopy or robotic surgery is not available everywhere. Therefore, it is important that gynecologists in low-resource settings be familiar with this simple method.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/ijerph191811381","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2022,9,12]],"date-time":"2022-09-12T22:53:46Z","timestamp":1663023226000},"page":"11381","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":9,"title":["The Renaissance of the Vaginal Hysterectomy\u2014A Due Act"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"19","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-1481-9506","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Michael","family":"Stark","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"The New European Surgical Academy (NESA), Unter den Linden 21, 10117 Berlin, Germany"},{"name":"Laboratory of Human Physiology, Phystech BioMed School, Faculty of Biological & Medical Physics, Moscow Institute of Physics and Technology (State University), Dolgoprudny, Moscow 141701, Russia"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Antonio","family":"Malvasi","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"The New European Surgical Academy (NESA), Unter den Linden 21, 10117 Berlin, Germany"},{"name":"Laboratory of Human Physiology, Phystech BioMed School, Faculty of Biological & Medical Physics, Moscow Institute of Physics and Technology (State University), Dolgoprudny, Moscow 141701, Russia"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Ospan","family":"Mynbaev","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"The New European Surgical Academy (NESA), Unter den Linden 21, 10117 Berlin, Germany"},{"name":"Laboratory of Human Physiology, Phystech BioMed School, Faculty of Biological & Medical Physics, Moscow Institute of Physics and Technology (State University), Dolgoprudny, Moscow 141701, Russia"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-8426-8490","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Andrea","family":"Tinelli","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"The New European Surgical Academy (NESA), Unter den Linden 21, 10117 Berlin, Germany"},{"name":"Laboratory of Human Physiology, Phystech BioMed School, Faculty of Biological & Medical Physics, Moscow Institute of Physics and Technology (State University), Dolgoprudny, Moscow 141701, Russia"},{"name":"Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology and CERICSAL (Centro di Ricerca Clinico Salentino), \u201cVeris delli Ponti Hospital\u201d, 73020 Scorrano, Lecce, Italy"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2022,9,9]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"1","DOI":"10.1016\/S0950-3552(97)80047-8","article-title":"Hysterectomy: A historical perspective","volume":"11","author":"Sutton","year":"1997","journal-title":"Baillieres Clin.
