Perioperative outcomes of bipolar energy instruments in total laparoscopic hysterectomy

Perioperative Outcomes of Robotic Versus Laparoscopic Hysterectomy for Benign Disease

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES We compared the perioperative outcomes of hysterectomy performed by robotic (RH) versus laparoscopic (LH) routes for benign indications using the Dindo-Clavien scale for classification of the surgical complications. METHODS Retrospective chart review of all patients who underwent robotic (n=288) and laparoscopic (n=257) hysterectomies by minimally invasive surgeons a...

Laparoscopic hysterectomy in benign gynaecological conditions Outcomes after total laparoscopic hysterectomy and laparoscopic supracervical hysterectomy, a comparison of surgical procedures

Robotic-Assisted Total Laparoscopic Hysterectomy Versus Conventional Total Laparoscopic Hysterectomy

OBJECTIVES To compare patient characteristics, operative variables, and outcomes of 24 patients who underwent robotic-assisted total laparoscopic hysterectomy (TLH) with 44 patients who underwent conventional TLH. We retrospectively reviewed the charts of 44 patients with TLH and 24 patients with robotic TLH. RESULTS Robotic TLH was associated with a shorter hospital stay (1.0 vs 1.4 days, P=...

Laparoscopic vaginal vault closure with conventional straight instruments in single-port access total laparoscopic hysterectomy

OBJECTIVE Laparoscopic vaginal vault closure with conventional straight instruments is the final barrier to single-port access total laparoscopic hysterectomy (SPA-TLH). The aim of this study is to find out the safer, easier, simpler, faster, and even cheaper way to overcome it. METHODS Vaginal vault suturing techniques of 152 consecutive single-port access total laparoscopic hysterectomy cas...

Laparoscopic Supracervical Hysterectomy Compared to Total Hysterectomy

BACKGROUND The aim of this study was to compare perioperative results of laparoscopic supracervical hysterectomy (LSH) with those of laparoscopic total hysterectomy (TLH). METHODS A retrospective cohort study was conducted at the Department of Gynecology at a teaching hospital. A group of 157 patients who underwent TLH was compared with a group of 157 patients who underwent LSH with or withou...
