Hysterectomy is the most common pelvic surgical operation and is often performed for benign reasons. We aimed to compare clinical total abdominal hysterectomy (TAH), total laparoscopic hysterectomy (TLH), and vaginal hysterectomy (VH) in benign gynecological conditions. Patients' age, operation duration (min), length of stay in the hospital (days), Preop Hb (g/dL), Postop Hb (g/dL) values, complications according to the performed surgical procedures were analyzed. Determining which procedure will be the most appropriate option for which patient is the most important factor in preventing complications. it was observed that the patients' ages were significantly higher in the VH group (H=71.721; p=0.000), the operation duration was significantly shorter in the TAH group (H=125.689; p=0.000), and the length of hospital stay was significantly shorter in the TLH group (H=71.492; p=0.000). Preoperative and postoperative hemoglobin values were significantly higher in the VH group (H=57.222; p=0.000, H=52.824; p=0.000). It was determined that the complication rate was lower in the TAH group. The type of surgical procedure was found to not have a statistically significant effect on transfusion requirement (χ2=4.852; p>0.05) and history of previous surgery (χ2=0.115; p>0.05). The surgical approach of hysterectomy plays a significant role in postoperative morbidity. Determining which procedure will be the most appropriate option for which patient is the most important factor in preventing complications.
