Some benign uterine etiologies like uterine fibroids, adenomyosis, endometrial hyperplasia, abnormal or dysfunctional uterine bleeding are leading to hysterectomy. The hysterectomy as a radical surgery that resect a main internal sexual organ is not acceptable for many women even if they are not deciding for child bearing, because of their body images and their belief about sexuality and effects on quality of life. So, the alternative surgical techniques that can improve the satisfaction of the patients are important and must be developed for the purpose of harm reduction in the therapeutic options. In this paper, we present a novel surgical technique entitled â??Uterine Fundectomyâ? that can minimize the harm of the hysterectomy and preserve a part of the uterine that can keep the sexual satisfaction, body images and menstruation periods for patients. In this study, we describe the details of surgical technique and present the outcomes and satisfaction of the 50 candidate volunteer patients. Based on our experience in this study, uterine fundectomy technique has a good outcomes and high satisfaction in patients and is more acceptable for the patients with benign pathologies compare with hysterectomy.
