AIM The aim of this investigation was to analyze the feasibility and postoperative outcome of laparoscopic supracervical hysterectomy (LASH) with and without bilateral salpingectomy. PATIENTS AND METHODS Between February and October 2012, a total of 25 patients were prospectively enrolled to undergo LASH with bilateral salpingectomy. A retrospective cohort of 25 matched patients who underwent...

Vaginal cuff dehiscence (VCD) after hysterectomy is an adverse event with potential severe morbidity. Although the data are limited, minimally invasive approaches to hysterectomy, such as total laparoscopic hysterectomy (TLH), may be associated with a higher risk of vaginal cuff dehiscence. The cause for these dehiscences is unknown, and multiple factors may be involved. Internationally, the et...

  Abstract   A32 year-old multigravid patient with 10 weeks of pregnancy was referred to the emergency ward with massive vaginal bleeding and preshock state. Suction curettage, laparotomy, uterine artery ligation, Macdonald cerclage, and hysterectomy was done, in that order. After hysterectomy and massive transfusion she recovered. When a diagnosis of cesarean scar pregnancy is made in the emer...

BACKGROUND The interpretation of uterine cancer rates is hindered by the inclusion of women whose uterus has been surgically removed in the population at risk. Hysterectomy prevalence varies widely by state and race/ethnicity, exacerbating this issue. METHODS We estimated hysterectomy-corrected, age-adjusted uterine corpus cancer incidence rates by race/ethnicity for 49 states and the Distric...

INTRODUCTION Subtotal hysterectomy is a method of treatment of patients with mild changes in the uterine body. Laparoscopic methods are increasingly used in surgical gynaecology. One of the limitations of laparoscopy is the proper level of operating surgeon's training, which may be assessed with the use of the learning curve. The aim of the study was to compare data regarding the perioperative ...

Vaginal vault perforation and evisceration of abdominal contents is a rare but well recognised complication hysterectomy. We presented case 40-year-old female with isolated omental prolapse 10 months post open hysterectomy after penile-vaginal intercourse. Early identification, initiation antibiotics operative management are critical to sepsis source control.

OBJECTIVE To estimate the association between obesity and the recent trends of routes chosen for hysterectomy performed for benign indications in the United States. MATERIALS AND METHODS Using the American College of Surgeons-National Surgical Quality Improvement Project's database, patients who underwent hysterectomy for benign indications from 2005 to 2011 were identified by International C...
