We enrolled 129 patients who underwent hysterectomy. The patients were divided into the TLH (\n                      <jats:italic toggle=\"yes\">n<\/jats:italic>\n                      = 39) and TAH (\n                      <jats:italic toggle=\"yes\">n<\/jats:italic>\n                      = 90) groups.

There was no significant between-group difference in the patient\u2019s demographics. Although the TLH group had longer operative time, the hospital stay was shorter and there were no reported cases of wound infection. The estimated blood loss was significantly lower in the TLH group than in the TAH group, but there was no difference between the two groups in terms of blood transfusion requirement and postoperative hemoglobin level.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusion:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>TLH and TAH had comparable overall outcomes in the Al-Karak Governmental Hospital.
