there are always exceptions. That is why we have "COMMON" sense.
About 6 C/S.

While I look to do as many hysts as VH as possible ...
I have a VERY similar patient with persistent HPV disease and SIL. Pap
with suggestive of HSIL - it was a very tough Leep due to very narrow
vaginal architecture (C/S x 2).
On the one hadn I can see where doing it as a VH would be great and do
those vaginal margins - but with 2 C/S -AND- really tough access I think
I will decide to go with an "old fashioned" abd TAH. (high probability
of BSO unless she insists on keeping those ovaries (close to or at age
50).
So a question for Y'All : any rule-of-thumb on VH - at how many C/S
would you be hesitant to do a VH?
