Laparoscopic supracervical hysterectomy allows the uterus to be detached from inside the body using laparoscopic instruments while the doctor is viewing the uterus, tubes, and ovaries on a flat screen monitor using a camera attached to a telescope. This procedure differs from standard hysterectomies in that the cervix is retained in the womans body, while the main portion of the uterus is detached and removed through small (one inch) incisions in the lower abdomen. One of the instruments making this surgery feasible is called an electronic morcellator, which cuts the uterus into small pieces so that the tissue can be removed through the small incisions.
