Today 80 percent of hysterectomies in patients with benigne and malignant disease are done by endoscopic procedures. Clear indications for Laparoscopic Subtotal Hysterectomy include a cervix free of any disturbances, a multifibroid uterus and the wish of the patient to reserve the normal function of her pelvic organs. Laparoscopically this procedure can be easily performed without any side effects. Recently in China Li, Zi-Jun et al. [25] 2020 described a new technique called Anterograde Vaginal Subtotal Hysterectomy (AVSH) which appears to be much more complicated than our Kiel based LSH initiated by Kurt Semm in 1991 [13]. It is the aim of this chapter to line out the easiness and beauty of Laparoscopic Subtotal Hysterectomy (LSH). This is not intended to be a research paper but a historical development presentation for LSH.
