A Total Laparoscopic Hysterectomy is the removal of the uterus and the cervix. The cervix is exposed by dissecting the ligaments and transecting the blood supply.
A Laparoscopically Assisted Vaginal Hysterectomy is the removal of the uterus and the cervix. The ligaments and blood supply are dissected or transected laparoscopically.
