With the advent of laparoscopic technology, laparoscopic hysterectomy (LH) is rapidly gaining its ground. However, every surgery has its complications which are specific but also depends on various factors such as surgical skills and experience of surgeons, levels of operative laparoscopy and patient populations.<\/jats:p>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Aims and Objective:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>In this study, we evaluated the complications of total laparoscopic hysterectomy (TLH) and analysed the trend of complications, intraoperative and post-operative, over a period of time.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Methods:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>It was a retrospective study conducted in the private care setting. All women who underwent hysterectomy for benign conditions from a 1 January 2003 to 31 December 2017, (15 years) were included in this study.
