Abstract. We reviewed 1246 vaginal hysterectomies performed at Handa City Hospital between January 1984 and December 1996. We divided the patients into 2 groups: those with leiomyomas (n=893) and those with adenomyosis (n=353). There was no difference in operative time and estimated blood loss between the 2 groups when analyzed by uterine weight. However, adenomyosis was associated with an increased risk of bladder injury.
