Abstract
Aims and objectives: To assess feasibility and safety of NDVH in patients with scarred uterus undergoing hysterectomy for benign conditions.

Results: All the 25 cases selected for NDVH successfully underwent NDVH. None had bladder injury. Commonest indication was leiomyoma. Mean duration of surgery was 60 ± 15 min. Mean blood loss was 150 ± 20 ml. Post-operative complications were minimal. Patient mobility, resumption of daily activities was fast with minimal need for pain relief. Hospital stay was 4-5 days.
