Cervix-sparing hysterectomy due to benign conditions remains controversial, especially when the presumed risk of cervical cancer in the retained cervical stump is concerned. On the other hand, supracervical hysterectomy is associated with shorter operative time, decreased blood loss and decreased intraoperative complications. Moreover, beneficial effects of retaining the cervix on the pelvic statics and female psychosexual functioning have been suggested, although not yet proven.
