M.M, 95-year-old Japanese woman, 6 vaginal deliveries, presented a 20 days fetid vaginal smell/5 months mild vaginal bleeding. Well appearing, oriented and coherent. Physically active, having a controlled mild hypertension as the only comorbidity. Vaginal exame, identified a foul smelling from the cervix. A transvaginal ultrasound revealed anteverted/flexed uterus, and the endometrial cavity had cystic/solid content, without vascularity in doppler. Endometrial biopsy was performed and the hypothesis of neoplastic cells was discharged. It was indicated a total vaginal hysterectomy. There were no complications. The correct anesthetic dose provided lower risk and a better outcome. In the first 12 hours, a pre-renal acute renal failure was reversed. The hospital discharge was after 2 days, when the patient had no pain, was walking and urinating. Only dipyrone was used as analgesic and 14 days of clindamycin was prescribed. After a month, no complaints/pain were reported. The patient returned to her daily habits and to social contact in a short time, indicating a good evolution. The surgery highly improved the patient’s quality of life.
