Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The correct statement by the patient that demonstrates understanding of the laparoscope-assisted vaginal hysterectomy procedure is "I'm relieved that I won't have any visible scars on my abdomen."

It shows understanding of one of the benefits of this surgical approach. The other statements are not accurate or relevant to the procedure.
