From September 2001 through September 2003, 52 consecutive procedures with a modified classical intrafascial supracervical hysterectomy (CISH) technique without disposable instruments have been performed on patients with an average age of 42.2 years (range 25–62 years) and a follow-up of 12.5 months (range 0.4–23.6 months). Mean postoperative length of stay was 6 hours, 19 minutes (range 3 hours, 10 minutes–17 hours, 30 minutes), and overall length of stay was 11 hours, 37 minutes (range 6 hours, 45 minutes–22 hours, 50 minutes). Five patients (9.6%) stayed overnight, three for medical and two for social reasons. With an average of 2 hours, 14 minutes, the operating room time was about 1 hour longer than with disposable instruments.
