Data is taken from this pathway's reviewed node text. Work through the pathway step by step.

Step 1 / 1 · Uterine size/descent + adnexa/adhesions/prior surgery

Uterine size and mobility/descent? Adnexal disease/adhesions/prior surgery? Malignancy suspected?

💡 For benign disease, prefer the least invasive feasible route; if malignancy is suspected, avoid power morcellators (occult uterine sarcoma risk).
