the main steps to be carried out in the operation of vaginal hysterectomy when the uterus is not prolapsed are overall the same as when vaginal hysterectomy is carried out for prolapse : separation of the bladder from the uterus , opening of the pouch of douglas , dividing the utero-sacral ligaments , opening the vesico-uterine pouch , dividing the cardinal ligaments , delivering the fundus of the uterus , freeing the uterine cornua and reperitonealisation .
