Same-day discharge after laparoscopic hysterectomy for benign/premalignant disease: A multicentre randomised controlled trial. BJOG 2024. [PMID: 39020078 DOI: 10.1111/1471-0528.17911] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/28/2024] [Revised: 06/21/2024] [Accepted: 06/30/2024] [Indexed: 07/19/2024]
Abstract
OBJECTIVE To evaluate whether physical function and quality of life was influenced by discharge on the same-day after a total laparoscopic hysterectomy. DESIGN Multicentre non-inferiority randomised controlled trial. SETTING Five teaching hospitals and two university hospitals in the Netherlands. POPULATION Patients undergoing laparoscopic hysterectomy for benign or premalignant disease. METHODS Following informed consent, participants were allocated 1:1 either to same-day discharge (SDD) or next-day discharge (NDD). MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES The primary outcome was physical function at 7 days after surgery measured by the Patient Reported Outcomes Measurement Information System (PROMIS) Physical Function short Form 10A. Secondary outcomes were physical function and quality of life at 1 and 3 days and 6 weeks after surgery measured with PROMIS short Form 10A and the EuroQol questionnaire (EQ-5D-5L). RESULTS Two hundred and five patients were included of whom 105 were allocated to SDD and 100 to NDD. Physical function 7 days after surgery was 35.95 in the SDD group and 35.63 in the control group (mean difference 0.32; 95% CI [0.07-0.57]). As the upper limit of the 95% CI does not exceed the non-inferiority margin of 4 points, non-inferiority of SDD could be demonstrated. No difference in physical function nor quality of life on Days 1 and 3 and 6 weeks could be found. CONCLUSION This research demonstrates same-day discharge after laparoscopic hysterectomy is non-inferior to next day discharge in physical function 7 days after surgery.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Hysterectomy is one of the most common major gynecological surgeries, and it is performed for benign and malignant reasons. Currently, five types of hysterectomies are described: vaginal (VH), abdominal (AH), laparoscopic (LH), robotic, and vNOTES (vaginal natural orifice transluminal endoscopic surgery). This paper compares these two types of surgery in obese patients by analyzing the surgeries performed by our team. MATERIALS AND METHODS The research was conducted from January 2022 to December 2023 at the Department of Gynecology and Obstetrics of the General Hospital in Zadar. The study included female patients aged 18-75 years with a BMI > 30 kg/m2, regardless of parity, who were operated on for benign pathology. RESULTS There were 24 patients included in total. One conversion was observed in the TLH group because of excessive bleeding. Median operative time (IQR) was significantly lower in the vNOTES group (p < 0.05) than in the TLH group 35 (10.9) vs 125 (74.0) min. CONCLUSION The results concerning the duration of surgery, conversion rate, and postoperative bleeding and complications show that vNOTES hysterectomies seem to be feasible for obese patients. Further studies are needed to confirm these observations.

Abstract
Background and Objectives: Few studies have investigated the relationship between female reproductive hormones, especially estrogen, and the incidence of cataracts. This study sought to evaluate the effects of hysterectomy on the risk of lens opacity in Korean women. Materials and Methods: This retrospective cohort study utilized data collected from 2007 to 2020 for 255,576 postmenopausal women in the Korean National Health Insurance database. Participants were divided into those who did and did not undergo hysterectomy. The hysterectomy group was further divided into two subgroups according to the type of adnexal surgery performed. The prevalence of cataracts was then compared among the control, hysterectomy alone, and hysterectomy with adnexal surgery groups. Results: The control group included 137,999 participants who did not undergo hysterectomy, while the treatment group included 93,719 women who underwent hysterectomy alone or in combination with adnexal surgery. The incidence of cataracts was higher in the control group than in the treatment group, as demonstrated in a 1:1 propensity score-matching analysis adjusted for potential confounding variables. Conclusions: The incidence of cataracts was significantly lower in the group with hysterectomy than in the control group, but the difference was subtle. The current findings may aid in identifying the role of female reproductive hormones in cataract development.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Currently, there are five major approaches to hysterectomy for benign gynaecological disease: abdominal hysterectomy (AH), vaginal hysterectomy (VH), laparoscopic hysterectomy (LH), robotic-assisted hysterectomy (RH) and vaginal natural orifice hysterectomy (V-NOTES). Within the LH category we further differentiate the laparoscopic-assisted vaginal hysterectomy (LAVH) from the total laparoscopic hysterectomy (TLH) and single-port laparoscopic hysterectomy (SP-LH). OBJECTIVES To assess the effectiveness and safety of different surgical approaches to hysterectomy for women with benign gynaecological conditions. SEARCH METHODS We searched the following databases (from their inception to December 2022): the Cochrane Gynaecology and Fertility Specialised Register of Controlled Trials, CENTRAL, MEDLINE, Embase, CINAHL and PsycINFO. We also searched the trial registries and relevant reference lists, and communicated with experts in the field for any additional trials. SELECTION CRITERIA We included randomised controlled trials (RCTs) in which clinical outcomes were compared between one surgical approach to hysterectomy and another. DATA COLLECTION AND ANALYSIS At least two review authors independently selected trials, assessed risk of bias and performed data extraction. Our primary outcomes were return to normal activities, satisfaction and quality of life, intraoperative visceral injury and major long-term complications (i.e. fistula, pelvic-abdominal pain, urinary dysfunction, bowel dysfunction, pelvic floor condition and sexual dysfunction). MAIN RESULTS We included 63 studies with 6811 women. The evidence for most comparisons was of low or moderate certainty. The main limitations were poor reporting and imprecision. Vaginal hysterectomy (VH) versus abdominal hysterectomy (AH) (12 RCTs, 1046 women) Return to normal activities was probably faster in the VH group (mean difference (MD) -10.91 days, 95% confidence interval (CI) -17.95 to -3.87; 4 RCTs, 274 women; I2 = 67%; moderate-certainty evidence). This suggests that if the return to normal activities after AH is assumed to be 42 days, then after VH it would be between 24 and 38 days. We are uncertain whether there is a difference between the groups for the other primary outcomes. Laparoscopic hysterectomy (LH) versus AH (28 RCTs, 3431 women) Return to normal activities may be sooner in the LH group (MD -13.01 days, 95% CI -16.47 to -9.56; 7 RCTs, 618 women; I2 = 68%, low-certainty evidence), but there may be more urinary tract injuries in the LH group (odds ratio (OR) 2.16, 95% CI 1.19 to 3.93; 18 RCTs, 2594 women; I2 = 0%; moderate-certainty evidence). This suggests that if the return to normal activities after abdominal hysterectomy is assumed to be 37 days, then after laparoscopic hysterectomy it would be between 22 and 25 days. It also suggests that if the rate of ureter injury during abdominal hysterectomy is assumed to be 0.2%, then during laparoscopic hysterectomy it would be between 0.2% and 2%. We are uncertain whether there is a difference between the groups for the other primary outcomes. LH versus VH (22 RCTs, 2135 women) We are uncertain whether there is a difference between the groups for any of our primary outcomes. Both short- and long-term complications were rare in both groups. Robotic-assisted hysterectomy (RH) versus LH (three RCTs, 296 women) None of the studies reported satisfaction rates or quality of life. We are uncertain whether there is a difference between the groups for our other primary outcomes. Single-port laparoscopic hysterectomy (SP-LH) versus LH (seven RCTs, 621 women) None of the studies reported satisfaction rates, quality of life or major long-term complications. We are uncertain whether there is a difference between the groups for rates of intraoperative visceral injury. Total laparoscopic hysterectomy (TLH) versus laparoscopic-assisted vaginal hysterectomy (LAVH) (three RCTs, 233 women) None of the studies reported satisfaction rates or quality of life. We are uncertain whether there is a difference between the groups for rates of intraoperative visceral injury or major long-term complications. Transvaginal natural orifice transluminal endoscopic surgery (V-NOTES) versus LH (two RCTs, 96 women) We are uncertain whether there is a difference between the groups for rates of bladder injury. Our other primary outcomes were not reported. Overall, adverse events were rare in the included studies. AUTHORS' CONCLUSIONS Among women undergoing hysterectomy for benign disease, VH appears to be superior to AH. When technically feasible, VH should be performed in preference to AH because it is associated with faster return to normal activities, fewer wound/abdominal wall infections and shorter hospital stay. Where VH is not possible, LH has advantages over AH including faster return to normal activities, shorter hospital stay, and decreased risk of wound/abdominal wall infection, febrile episodes or unspecified infection, and transfusion. These advantages must be balanced against the increased risk of ureteric injury and longer operative time. When compared to LH, VH was associated with no difference in time to return to normal activities but shorter operative time and shorter hospital stay. RH and V-NOTES require further evaluation since there is a lack of evidence of any patient benefit over conventional LH. Overall, the evidence in this review has to be interpreted with caution as adverse event rates were low, resulting in low power for these comparisons. The surgical approach to hysterectomy should be discussed with the patient and decided in the light of the relative benefits and hazards. Surgical expertise is difficult to quantify and poorly reported in the available studies and this may influence outcomes in ways that cannot be accounted for in this review. In conclusion, when VH is not feasible, LH has multiple advantages over AH, but at the cost of more ureteric injuries. Evidence is limited for RH and V-NOTES.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To examine the association between hysterectomy and hypertension among middle-aged and older women in India, as well as to determine if the association differs across different age groups. DESIGN A cross-sectional exploratory study. SETTING AND PARTICIPANTS Nationally representative population-based data of the Longitudinal Ageing Study in India (2017-2018) were used in this study. The sample included 32 460 women aged 45 years and above. OUTCOME MEASURES Self-reported hypertension was the outcome variable. The variable was a binary variable, with 1 representing hypertensive and 0 representing not hypertensive. METHODS Entropy balance method, along with logistic regression analysis, was used to meet the objectives. RESULTS 31.3% of the women with hysterectomy and 42.5% of the women without hysterectomy were hypertensive. A perfect covariate balance was achieved between the treatment and control groups using the entropy balance method. Women with hysterectomy had 36% (OR 1.36; 95% CI 1.26 to 1.48) higher odds of hypertension than women without hysterectomy. The OR was 1.23 (95% CI 1.03 to 1.47) for the age group 45-49, whereas, for the age group 80+, it was 1.87 (95% CI 1.18 to 2.97), showing that the magnitude of the association between hysterectomy and hypertension varied with age. CONCLUSION The findings of this study suggest that hysterectomy and hypertension have a significant association in middle-aged as well as older women in India.

Abstract
Surgical patients experience both postoperative pain and anxiety, as they try to cope with pain. Despite technological advances, pharmacological methods are inadequate for decreasing postoperative pain and anxiety. Reflexology has been implemented and considered effective in these areas in many countries. The aim of this study was to determine the effect of reflexology on decreasing postoperative pain and anxiety after a hysterectomy. The study was an intervention randomized study. The population of the investigation is all patients who had a hysterectomy between February 2012 and December 2014 in the Istanbul University Obstetrics and Gynecology service. The sample was 100 women chosen after a power analysis (minimum: 74) (experimental: 54, control: 46) within the population of the investigation who agreed to participate in the study. Using a table of random numbers, patients in the sample were divided into groups. Data was collected using the patient information and vital signs form, State-Trait Anxiety Inventory (STAI-I), Visual Analog Scale (VAS) Pain and Anxiety Scales, and BRIEF pain inventory. All women in the groups had similar sociodemographic, obstetric, and pain characteristics, past experience of illness, and characteristics related to their hysterectomy. All of the patients in the reflexology group stated that reflexology helped them feel better. The reflexology group compared with the control group had lower than the average VAS pain and VAS and STAI anxiety at all assessment times. Reflexology is effective in reducing anxiety and pain.

Abstract
STUDY OBJECTIVE To determine the difference in surgical complications for patients with a previous cesarean section (CS) undergoing abdominal, vaginal, or laparoscopic hysterectomy. DESIGN A population-based retrospective cohort study. SETTING Province of Ontario, Canada. PATIENTS 10 300 patients with at least 1 CS between July 1, 1991, and February 17, 2018. INTERVENTIONS Benign, nongravid hysterectomy between Apr 1, 2002, and March 31, 2018. MEASUREMENTS AND MAIN RESULTS The primary outcome was a composite of all surgical complications within 30 days of surgery. Secondary outcomes were rate of genitourinary complications, readmission to hospital, and emergency department visit occurring within 30 days of surgery. Of 10 300 patients who had at least one previous CS, who underwent subsequent hysterectomy for a benign indication, 7370 underwent an abdominal hysterectomy (71.55%), 813 (7.9%) had a vaginal hysterectomy, and 2117 (20.55%) underwent a laparoscopic hysterectomy. The adjusted odds of any surgical complication from hysterectomy was significantly lower when performed by the vaginal approach than the laparoscopic approach (odds ratio, 0.32; 95% confidence interval, 0.20-0.51; p <.0001). There was no difference in the odds of surgical complication between abdominal and laparoscopic approaches (odds ratio, 1.09; 95% confidence interval, 0.87-1.37; p = .45). CONCLUSION Our retrospective population-based study demonstrates that, after previous CS, patients selected to undergo vaginal hysterectomy experienced lower risk than either abdominal or laparoscopic approaches. This suggests that CS alone should not be a contraindication to vaginal hysterectomy.

The effect of hysterectomy types on vaginal length, vaginal shortening rate and FSFI scores. Taiwan J Obstet Gynecol 2022; 61:427-432.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Vaginal length (VL), size and width may show individual differences among women. Hysterectomy causes VL shortening in patients, and this shortening varies according to the type of hysterectomy performed. Some studies in literature have shown that the shortened VL after hysterectomy may cause dyspareunia and have a negative effect on female sexuality. The aim of this study is to compare preoperative and postoperative vaginal lengths, vaginal shortening rate (VSR) not used before in the literature, and postoperative sexual functions according to hysterectomy types. MATERIALS AND METHODS In the study, which included 136 [55 Total Abdominal Hysterectomy (TAH), 33 Vaginal Hysterectomy (VH), 48 Total Laparoscopic Hysterectomy (TLH)] sexually active patients under the age of 60 who underwent hysterectomy, the patients were divided into three groups according to the type of hysterectomy performed. Groups were compared in terms of demographic variables, preoperative/postop and control VL, vaginal shortening rate and The Female Sexual Function Index (FSFI) scores. RESULTS Vaginal lengths measured after TLH was longer and vaginal lengths measured after VAH was shorter, the difference was significant (p < 0.01). VSRs were 15.9% in TAH group, 10.9% in VH group and 8.3% in TLH group (p < 0.05). Total FSFI score was higher in TLH group than TAH and VH group (p < 0.01). Group of VSR>15% had statistically significantly lower FSFI scores in lubrication, orgasm, pain and total score than both the VSR<10% group and the VSR 10-15% group (p < 0.05). CONCLUSION Calculating the VSR after hysterectomy instead of postoperative VL measurement will allow us to obtain more individual and accurate results in predicting postoperative sexual functions. We found that TLH is the best hysterectomy method in terms of preserving sexual functions due to less loss of vaginal tissue in the postoperative period from these three techniques that are frequently.

Abstract
BACKGROUND This study aimed to evaluate the quality of life (QoL) and sexual function of women who underwent total abdominal hysterectomy and total laparoscopic hysterectomy. METHODS In this prospective cohort study, a total of 121 patients who underwent total abdominal hysterectomy (N.=65) and total laparoscopic hysterectomy (N.=56) operations for benign indications were included. Sociodemographic features, obstetric histories, and clinical characteristics of the patients were noted. Quality of life assessment was conducted with the World Health Organization Quality of Life-BREF questionnaire, which has five domains: overall quality of life + health, physical health, psychological health, social relationships, and environment. Sexual function was assessed by the Golombok-Rust Inventory of Sexual Satisfaction Scale with subscales of infrequency, non-communication, avoidance, non-sensuality, dissatisfaction, vaginismus, and anorgasmia. The patients were asked to fill in both questionnaires before the operation and six months after the operation. RESULTS Of the 121 patients, 104 of them completed the postoperative surveys. In the total laparoscopic hysterectomy group, the individual improvements of the overall quality of life + health physical, and psychological health domains were statistically higher than the total abdominal hysterectomy group. In terms of sexual function, the total abdominal hysterectomy group had worse avoidance, non-sensuality, dissatisfaction, and vaginismus subscale scores and total score both in the preoperative and postoperative period compared to the total laparoscopic hysterectomy group. However, the individual differences and the number of patients exhibiting sexual dysfunction before and after surgery were not statistically significant in both groups. CONCLUSIONS Laparoscopic hysterectomy was superior to abdominal hysterectomy in improving the quality of life of the patients. Both abdominal and laparoscopic hysterectomies were not found to affect female sexuality.

Abstract
Background and Purpose. This study established a suitable animal model of ovariohysterectomy; characterized the course and pattern of vaginal healing after ovariohysterectomy; and compared healing obtained after closure of the vaginal cuff with a novel cuff-closure device (Zip-stitch® clips) and VICRYL® sutures. Research Design and Study Sample. This prospective, randomized, controlled, blinded animal study was conducted in 27 mongrel hounds according to an IACUC-approved protocol. Each animal underwent ovariohysterectomy followed by vaginal cuff closure with Zip-stitch or VICRYL. At two or six weeks, animals were sacrificed for gross and histological analysis. Data Collection. The primary endpoint was the difference in the fraction of vaginal cuff healed six weeks after application of the closure device. Secondary endpoints included histopathologic cellular and tissue responses, including inflammation, necrosis, infection, and vascular and muscle changes. Results. In the test group, there were two distinct locations where fibrotic or granular tissue fusion between the anterior and posterior vaginal walls was observed: in tissue "captured" by a clip or in tissue around the clip. The fraction of the vaginal cuff healed was similar in animals treated with Zip-stitch clips and those treated with sutures at six weeks (68±10% vs 67±18%; P=.148, test for non-inferiority) after surgery. The test article performed similarly or better than the control article in terms of the intensity or extent of the secondary endpoints. Conclusions. Subject to further confirmation, this study supports Zip-stitch clips as a method to maintain immediate post-operative approximation of the vaginal cuff leading to healing but did not achieve statistical significance in its primary endpoint.

Dedden SJ, Bouwsma EVA, Geomini PMAJ, Bongers MY, Huirne JAF. Predictive factors of return to work after hysterectomy: a retrospective study. BMC Surg 2022; 22:84. [PMID: 35246078 PMCID: PMC8896112 DOI: 10.1186/s12893-022-01533-y] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/20/2021] [Accepted: 02/21/2022] [Indexed: 11/10/2022] Open
Abstract
Purpose Although hysterectomy is one of the most frequently performed gynaecological surgeries, there is a dearth of evidence on perioperative care. The aim of the current study was to identify sociodemographic, surgical-related and work-related predictors of recovery following different approaches of hysterectomy. Methods Eligible patients for this retrospective cohort study were women who underwent vaginal, abdominal or laparoscopic hysterectomy for both benign and malignant gynaecological disease in 2014 in Máxima Medical Centre in the Netherlands. The main outcome measure was full return to work (RTW). Data were collected using a patient survey. Potential prognostic factors for time to RTW were examined in univariate Cox regression analyses. The strongest prognostic factors were combined in a multivariable model. Results In total 83 women were included. Median time to full return to work was 8 weeks (interquartile range [IQR] 6–12). The multivariable analysis showed that higher age (hazard ratio [HR] 1.053, 95% confidence interval [CI] 1.012–1.095) and same day removal of indwelling catheter (HR 0.122, 95% CI 0.028–0.539) were predictors of shorter duration until full RTW after hysterectomy. Conclusions This study provided insight in the predictors of recovery after hysterectomy. By identifying patient specific factors, pre-operative counselling can be individualized, changes can be made in perioperative care and effective interventions can be designed to target those factors.

Cost effectiveness analysis of total laparoscopic hysterectomy versus total abdominal hysterectomy for uterine fibroids in Western China: a societal perspective. BMC Health Serv Res 2022; 22:252. [PMID: 35209891 PMCID: PMC8867663 DOI: 10.1186/s12913-022-07644-9] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/06/2021] [Accepted: 02/15/2022] [Indexed: 11/10/2022] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND As a common female pelvic tumor, uterine fibroids remain the leading cause for hysterectomy in China. Hysterectomy provides a good surgical treatment of uterine fibroids, and it guarantees the removal of all uterine fibroids without lower risk of recurrence. This study compares the cost effectiveness of total laparoscopic hysterectomy (TLH) versus total abdominal hysterectomy (TAH) for women with uterine fibroids from a societal perspective. METHODS An economic analysis was conducted in 392 patients (TLH n = 75; TAH n = 317), including all relevant costs over a 12-month time horizon. Primary outcome was major surgical complications; secondary outcomes were postoperative discomfort symptoms and time of return to normal activities. Clinical, outcomes and costs data were collected from medical records, telephone survey and financial information system. Generalized linear models were used to assess costs and outcomes differences between the two groups. Incremental cost effectiveness ratio (ICER) was used to estimate the cost effectiveness. RESULTS Mean direct costs were $2,925.71 for TLH, $2,436.24 for TAH, respectively. Mean indirect costs were $1,133.22 for TLH, $1,394.85 for TAH, respectively. Incremental societal costs were $256.86 (95%CI: 249.03-264.69). Mean differences in outcome were: 4.53% (95%CI: 4.35-4.71) for major surgical complications; 6.75% (95%CI: 6.45-7.05) for postoperative discomfort symptoms; 1.27 (95%CI: 1.23-1.30) weeks for time to return to normal activities. ICER of TLH was $5,669.16 (95%CI: 5,384.76-5,955.56) per complication averted, $3,801.54 (95%CI: 3,634.81-3,968.28) per postoperative discomfort symptoms averted and $202.96 (95%CI: 194.97-210.95) per week saved to return to normal activities. CONCLUSIONS TLH is cost effective compared with TAH in preventing additional complications based on our estimated conservative threshold in China. The findings provide useful information for researchers to conduct further cost effectiveness analysis based on prospective study which can provide stronger and more evidence, in China. In addition, the data may be useful for Chinese health care policy-makers and medical insurance payers to make related health care decisions.

Abstract
Background and Objectives Robotic surgery data need a setback on many years of practice with high-volume surgeons to evaluate its real value. Our main objective was to study the impact of a decade of robotic surgery on minimally-invasive hysterectomies for benign indications. Our secondary objectives were to evaluate our results for high-volume surgeons and complex cases. Methods In this retrospective cohort study, we reviewed medical records at Foch Hospital, from 2010 to 2019, to evaluate the outcomes of robotic hysterectomies for benign disease. We compared the trends of benign hysterectomies done by laparoscopy and laparotomy during this period. We analyzed the proficiency group (≥ 75 cases per surgeon) and complex cases including obese patients and large uteri (>250 g). Results 495 hysterectomies were performed by robotic, 275 by laparotomy, and 130 by laparoscopy. The laparotomy approach decreased from 62% to 29%, whereas the robotic approach increased from 26% to 61%. The operating room (OR) time decreased in the proficiency group (157.3 ± 43.32 versus 178.6 ± 48.05, P = 0.005); whereas the uterine weight was higher (194.6 ± 158.6 versus 161.3 ± 139.4, P = 0.04). Lower EBL and shorter OR time were seen with uteri ≤ 250 g subgroup (64.24 ± 110.2 ml versus 116.63 ± 146.98 ml, P = 0.0004) (169.62 ± 47.50 min versus 192.44 ± 45.82 min, P = 0.0001). The estimated blood loss (EBL) was less in the BMI ≤ 30 subgroup (68.83 ± 119.24 ml versus 124.53 ± 186.14 ml, P = 0.0005). Conclusion A shift was observed between the laparotomy and robotic approaches. High-volume surgeons were more efficient and showed a decrease in OR time after 75 cases despite an increase in uterine weight.

Abstract
Introduction and hypothesis Hysterectomy is one of the most commonly performed gynecological surgical procedures. One of the long-term risks associated with hysterectomy is the occurrence of pelvic organ prolapse (POP). To prevent post-hysterectomy POP, several suspension procedures are routinely performed at the time of hysterectomy. We performed a systematic review of published data in order to define the most effective surgical procedures for the prevention of post-hysterectomy POP. Methods We performed a systematic review of the literature by searching PubMed, the Cochrane Library, EMBASE, Ovid MEDLINE, and clinicaltrials.gov up to 24 May 2020. The search strategy included the keywords hysterectomy, post-hysterectomy, prolapse, colposuspension, culdoplasty, McCall, and combinations thereof. The inclusion criterion was a surgical procedure at the time of hysterectomy to prevent de novo POP. The outcome was incidence of post-hysterectomy POP. Results Six out of 553 retrieved studies met the methodological criteria for complete analysis. In this review, 719 women aged over 18 years were included. Only 2 studies were designed as prospective trials; however, only 1 compared women undergoing a procedure at the time of hysterectomy with controls. The prevalence of post-hysterectomy prolapse varied from 0% to 39%. Conclusion A systematic review of published literature suggests that performing variations of McCall culdoplasty at the time of hysterectomy might be the most effective prophylactic surgical procedure for preventing post-hysterectomy pelvic organ prolapse.

Abstract
Background Hysterectomy is a common procedure worldwide and removing healthy fallopian tubes at the time of hysterectomy (opportunistic salpingectomy) to possibly prevent ovarian cancer is increasing in frequency, but still controversial. The experiences and perceptions of women, eligible for the procedure, have not been previously investigated. This study aims to, among women waiting to undergo hysterectomy, explore i) experiences and perceptions of self and healthcare in relation to their elective surgery, ii) perceptions of risks and benefits of hysterectomy, including opportunistic salpingectomy. Methods A qualitative study, with focus group discussions including women < 55 years, planned for hysterectomy with ovarian preservation, was performed. Participants were recruited through purposive sampling from six gynecological departments in different parts of Sweden, including both country and university hospitals. Focus group discussions were conducted using a semi-structured interview guide, digitally recorded, transcribed verbatim and analysed by qualitative manifest and latent content analysis. Results Twenty-one Swedish-speaking women participated. They were 40–53 years of age, reported varying educational levels, countries of birth and indications for hysterectomy. Analysis rendered a theme “Bridging different realities” over four categories: “Being a woman today”, “Experiencing and managing body failure”, “Navigating the healthcare system” and “Processing continuously until surgery”, including 17 subcategories. The participants displayed varying attitudes towards the significance of their uterus in being a woman. A vague understanding of their body was described, leading to fear related to the reasons for surgery as well as surgery itself. Participants described difficulties understanding and recalling information but also stated that insufficient information was provided. Perceptions of the risks and benefits of opportunistic salpingectomy varied. Involvement in decisions regarding the hysterectomy and potential opportunistic salpingectomy was perceived to be dependent on the counselling gynecologist. Conclusions The theme Bridging different realities captures the complexity of women deciding on removal of their uterus, and possibly fallopian tubes. It also describes the women’s interactions with healthcare and perceived difference between the health professionals and the women’s perception of the situation, as viewed by the women. Bridging the different realities faced by patients is required to enable shared decision-making, through sufficient support from healthcare.

Abstract
Objective Hysterectomy is the second most frequently performed surgical procedure for women of reproductive age topped only by caesarean section. Hysterectomies may be associated with a significant risk of ultrasonographically detected vault haematomas in up to 59% with consequent postoperative morbidity. The aim of this systematic review was to compare women who had a vaginal drain placed intraoperatively after a hysterectomy and the impact on peri and postoperative outcomes related to vault haematomas. Study Design Electronic searches of AMED, BNI, CINAHL, EMBASE, HBE, HMIC, Medline, PsycINFO and PubMed, Cochrane register of controlled trials (CCTR), Cochrane database of systematic reviews (CDSR) CINAHL and Google scholar were performed. A systematic review and meta-analysis of studies comparing women with and without a vaginal drain after a hysterectomy and the impact on different outcomes was carried out. Results Ten studies involving 1778 women, 811 with a vaginal drain and 967 without a drain, were included in the meta-analysis. This suggests that the use of a vaginal drain after hysterectomy may significantly reduce the incidence of vault haematoma (OR 0.22, 95% CI 0.08 - 0.57) and febrile morbidity (OR 0.54, 95% CI 0.40 to 0.73), non- significantly reduce the rate of usage of antibiotics (OR 0.80, 95% CI 0.46-1.42) and makes no difference to the length of hospital stay (MD 0.12, 95% CI -0.14 to 0.38). Conclusion The use of a vaginal drain after hysterectomy could reduce the incidence of vault haematoma and febrile morbidity.

Abstract
Value-based care, best clinical outcome relative to cost, is a priority in correcting the high costs for average clinical outcomes of health care delivery in the United States. Hysterectomy represents the most common and identifiable nonobstetric major surgical procedure among women. Surgical approaches to hysterectomy in the United States have changed in recent decades. For benign indications, clinical evidence identifies the superiority of vaginal hysterectomy over all other routes. These conclusions rest on clinical outcomes; however, cost differentials also exist across hysterectomy approaches, with the vaginal approach consistently incurring the lowest overall costs. Taken together, vaginal hysterectomy has the highest value, whereas the robotic (given high costs) and abdominal approaches (given less favorable clinical outcomes) have less value. Traditional laparoscopic hysterectomy holds an intermediate value. Increasing the use of high-value hysterectomy approaches can be achieved by adopting multimodal strategies, with changes in the payment models being the most important.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Vaginal hysterectomy can be associated with a significant risk of vault haematomas with consequent postoperative morbidity. The aim of this study was to assess the use of a Foley Catheter as a vaginal drain in premenopausal women undergoing a vaginal hysterectomy and the impact on different outcomes including development of vault haematoma, length of hospital stay, antibiotics usage, readmissions to the hospital and febrile morbidity in the immediate postoperative period. STUDY DESIGN This study was conducted at a tertiary teaching hospital and was a retrospective cohort study of women undergoing a vaginal hysterectomy. The study compared 52 women in the study group with a Foley catheter drain to 51 age matched controls without a drain who underwent surgery for similar indications. Outcomes were compared using the Chi square test and student t-test. RESULTS Comparing women with a drain to those without demonstrated a statistically significant difference with worse outcomes for all parameters in women without a drain: evidence of vault haematomas (0 vs 8; p = 0.0025); length of hospital stay over 2 days (3 vs 15; p = 0.001); discharge with antibiotics for vault haematomas (5 vs 0; p = 0.028) and readmission rates (0 vs 7; p = 0.005). There was no statistical difference in the number of women with temperatures over 38 °C (4 vs 2; p = 0.3) in either group. CONCLUSION A Foley catheter used as a pelvic drain following a vaginal hysterectomy reduces postoperative complications associated with vault haematomas with shorter hospital stay, lower antibiotic usage and lower readmission rate.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES As the performance of minimally invasive hysterectomy has increased in the United States, the need to apply outcomes measures has also increased. This study was conducted to determine the impact of a fellowship-trained minimally invasive gynecologic surgery (MIGS) specialist on patient outcomes after laparoscopic hysterectomy (LH) in a gynecology department. METHODS This is a retrospective review of 218 patients who underwent a laparoscopic hysterectomy for benign indications at a suburban academic-affiliated tertiary care hospital with a broad patient base from 2010 to 2014. RESULTS A total of 218 women underwent conventional laparoscopic hysterectomy by 10 members of a gynecology department: 96 women (44%) by a MIGS specialist and 122 women (56%) by a group of general gynecologists. Operative time was less (119 vs 148 min; P < .001), and patients were more likely to be discharged on the same day (90.6% vs 66.4%; P < .001) for the MIGS specialist compared to other surgeons. More patients of the MIGS specialist had undergone prior laparotomies (42.7% vs 17.2%; P = < .001) and had a greater uterine weight (392 vs 224 g; P < .001). Although the difference was not statistically significant, conversion to laparotomy (0 vs 2 cases; P = .505) and postoperative infection (6 vs 16 cases; P = .095) were lower for the MIGS specialist. Total billing charges were also lower for the MIGS specialist ($9,920 vs $11,406; P < .001). CONCLUSION A fellowship-trained MIGS specialist performed laparoscopic hysterectomy in less time on more difficult surgical patients, with a shorter length of stay and lower costs, and no difference in complications compared to other providers in a gynecology department.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Obesity is one of the most important risk factors for the development and progression of the pelvic organ prolapse. However, data regarding whether obesity is a risk factor for recurrence after pelvic organ prolapse surgery are controversial. OBJECTIVE The aim of this study was to estimate the risk of recurrent prolapse in any vaginal compartment after total vaginal hysterectomy with concurrent uterosacral ligament vaginal vault suspension among normal-weight women compared with either overweight or obese women. STUDY DESIGN This is a 5-year retrospective cohort study of women who underwent total vaginal hysterectomy with concurrent vaginal uterosacral ligament suspension at one referral center for pelvic organ prolapse in Italy from January 2010 to January 2015. All women who underwent total vaginal hysterectomy with concurrent uterosacral ligament suspension were included in the analysis. Laparoscopic approach was excluded. Women were classified according to the body mass index of 2 groups: (1) normal weight (body mass index, 18.5-24.9 kg/m2) and (2) either overweight (body mass index, 25.0-29.9 kg/m2) or obese (body mass index, ≥30.0 kg/m2). The primary outcome was the incidence of recurrent prolapse in any vaginal compartment (anterior, posterior, or apical). Recurrent prolapse was defined as prolapse extending beyond the hymen with straining (pelvic organ prolapse quantification points Ba, C, Bp ≥0) or repeat treatment for prolapse with either pessary or surgery. Uterosacral ligament suspensions were performed with a vaginal approach with the use of sutures placed in the intermediate uterosacral ligament, at or above the ischial spine, and affixed to the vaginal apex. Delayed absorbable sutures were used, with 2 sutures per side. RESULTS Three hundred sixty women who underwent total vaginal hysterectomy with concurrent uterosacral ligament suspension with at least 6 months of follow up after surgery were included in the study. The overall incidence of recurrent prolapse in any vaginal compartment was 19.7% (71/360 women). The risk of recurrent prolapse in any vaginal compartment (ie, primary outcome) was similar in the normal-weight compared with the overweight or obese group (16.7% vs 21.3%; P=.30). Women in the normal-weight group had a lower risk of recurrent anterior vaginal prolapse (10.8% vs 20.0%; adjusted odds ratio, 0.49; 95% confidence interval, 0.25-0.94) and of multiple compartment prolapse (8.3% vs 14.6%; adjusted odds ratio, 0.53; 95% confidence interval, 0.31-0.83). CONCLUSION After total vaginal hysterectomy with concurrent uterosacral ligament suspension, the risk of recurrent vaginal prolapse was 20% based on a composite outcome definition of any anatomic prolapse beyond the hymen or pessary or repeat surgery. The most common site of recurrence was the anterior compartment. The risk of recurrent surgery was 10%. Our study showed that women with normal-weight had similar risk of recurrent prolapse compared with the overweight or obese group. In subgroup analyses, women with normal-weight had one-half the odds of recurrent anterior vaginal wall prolapse compared with those who were overweight or obese.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE NDVH is a minimally invasive, safe, effective, and economical surgery. Still AH is preferred for benign gynaecological indications. Our study aims to promote NDVH in all technically possible cases by adequate counselling of the patient. METHODS This prospective observational study enrolled 100 women seeking hysterectomy for benign gynaecological conditions (excluding prolapse) in a teaching hospital. Women were counselled on the basis of 'PREPARED' questionnaire to assess their awareness about NDVH and were offered NDVH as the proposed surgery and result is analysed. RESULTS We observed that there was a little awareness about NDVH and its outcome among the subjects. Ten out of 100 patients refused to perform NDVH after counselling and underwent TAH. Rest of the 90 patients opted for NDVH. Forty out of 90 patients were aware about NDVH, but they were sceptical about the outcome, and 50 were totally unaware. After applying 'PREPARED' questionnaire and counselling, we could motivate them to accept NDVH. It was successful in all cases except one where laparotomy was done for ovarian artery retraction. With no significant post-operative complications, early return to routine activity and low cost of surgery, all patients were satisfied with surgical outcome and improved quality of life. CONCLUSION We conclude that patients accept the surgery with open mind after proper counselling and detailing of the procedure. Most of the abdominal hysterectomy can be converted successfully to NDVH in technically feasible cases by experienced hands so adequate training to gynaecology residents is the need of the time. NDVH is economical to the patient as well as for the healthcare system.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The four approaches to hysterectomy for benign disease are abdominal hysterectomy (AH), vaginal hysterectomy (VH), laparoscopic hysterectomy (LH) and robotic-assisted hysterectomy (RH). OBJECTIVES To assess the effectiveness and safety of different surgical approaches to hysterectomy for women with benign gynaecological conditions. SEARCH METHODS We searched the following databases (from inception to 14 August 2014) using the Ovid platform: Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials (CENTRAL); MEDLINE; EMBASE; Cumulative Index to Nursing and Allied Health Literature (CINAHL) and PsycINFO. We also searched relevant citation lists. We used both indexed and free-text terms. SELECTION CRITERIA We included randomised controlled trials (RCTs) in which clinical outcomes were compared between one surgical approach to hysterectomy and another. DATA COLLECTION AND ANALYSIS At least two review authors independently selected trials, assessed risk of bias and performed data extraction. Our primary outcomes were return to normal activities, satisfaction, quality of life, intraoperative visceral injury and major long-term complications (i.e. fistula, pelvi-abdominal pain, urinary dysfunction, bowel dysfunction, pelvic floor condition and sexual dysfunction). MAIN RESULTS We included 47 studies with 5102 women. The evidence for most comparisons was of low or moderate quality. The main limitations were poor reporting and imprecision. Vaginal hysterectomy (VH) versus abdominal hysterectomy (AH) (nine RCTs, 762 women)Return to normal activities was shorter in the VH group (mean difference (MD) -9.5 days, 95% confidence interval (CI) -12.6 to -6.4, three RCTs, 176 women, I(2) = 75%, moderate quality evidence). There was no evidence of a difference between the groups for the other primary outcomes. Laparoscopic hysterectomy (LH) versus AH (25 RCTs, 2983 women)Return to normal activities was shorter in the LH group (MD -13.6 days, 95% CI -15.4 to -11.8; six RCTs, 520 women, I(2) = 71%, low quality evidence), but there were more urinary tract injuries in the LH group (odds ratio (OR) 2.4, 95% CI 1.2 to 4.8, 13 RCTs, 2140 women, I(2) = 0%, low quality evidence). There was no evidence of a difference between the groups for the other primary outcomes. LH versus VH (16 RCTs, 1440 women)There was no evidence of a difference between the groups for any primary outcomes. Robotic-assisted hysterectomy (RH) versus LH (two RCTs, 152 women)There was no evidence of a difference between the groups for any primary outcomes. Neither of the studies reported satisfaction rates or quality of life.Overall, the number of adverse events was low in the included studies. AUTHORS' CONCLUSIONS Among women undergoing hysterectomy for benign disease, VH appears to be superior to LH and AH, as it is associated with faster return to normal activities. When technically feasible, VH should be performed in preference to AH because of more rapid recovery and fewer febrile episodes postoperatively. Where VH is not possible, LH has some advantages over AH (including more rapid recovery and fewer febrile episodes and wound or abdominal wall infections), but these are offset by a longer operating time. No advantages of LH over VH could be found; LH had a longer operation time, and total laparoscopic hysterectomy (TLH) had more urinary tract injuries. Of the three subcategories of LH, there are more RCT data for laparoscopic-assisted vaginal hysterectomy and LH than for TLH. Single-port laparoscopic hysterectomy and RH should either be abandoned or further evaluated since there is a lack of evidence of any benefit over conventional LH. Overall, the evidence in this review has to be interpreted with caution as adverse event rates were low, resulting in low power for these comparisons. The surgical approach to hysterectomy should be discussed and decided in the light of the relative benefits and hazards. These benefits and hazards seem to be dependent on surgical expertise and this may influence the decision. In conclusion, when VH is not feasible, LH may avoid the need for AH, but LH is associated with more urinary tract injuries. There is no evidence that RH is of benefit in this population. Preferably, the surgical approach to hysterectomy should be decided by the woman in discussion with her surgeon.

Abstract
AIMS The aims of this study are to estimate the hysterectomy rate for benign disease and determine recent trends in laparoscopic surgery for hysterectomies, including subtotal, total, and radical hysterectomy, in Korea. MATERIAL AND METHODS Computerized discharge summaries from private and public hospitals for 2007-2009 were obtained from the Health Insurance Review & Assessment Service. All records listing subtotal and total hysterectomies for benign disease and radical hysterectomies in women aged ≥ 16 years in each period were selected (n = 99,388). All women living in Korea aged ≥ 16 years were the denominator population. Laparoscopic surgery was identified when the code for laparoscopic materials was used. Statistical analysis included a trend test. RESULTS The hysterectomy rates for benign disease were 1.48, 1.49, and 1.52/1000 women aged ≥ 16 years in 2007, 2008, and 2009, respectively, and the overall rate was 1.49/1000 women. The trend increased (P for trend <0.001). The use of laparoscopy for subtotal and total hysterectomies accounted for 43.1% in 2007, 47.7% in 2008, and 52.0% in 2009, which showed a clear increasing trend (P for trend <0.001). The use of laparoscopy for radical hysterectomies comprised 26.7%, 28.7%, and 38.2% of cases in 2007, 2008, and 2009, respectively, an increased trend (P for trend <0.001). CONCLUSION The hysterectomy rate for benign disease increased between 2007 and 2009 in Korea. Application of laparoscopy during subtotal, total, and radical hysterectomies has increased significantly.

Abstract
BACKGROUND To compare the clinical results of two types of laparoendoscopic single-site surgery (LESS) laparoscopic hysterectomy (LH): LH with some vaginal component [LH(a)] versus laparoscopically assisted vaginal hysterectomy (LAVH). SUBJECTS AND METHODS This is a retrospective comparative study. A single surgeon performed 50 LESS-LAVH procedures consecutively between March 2009 and October 2009 and 50 LESS-LH(a) procedures consecutively between January 2011 and July 2011. RESULTS Most LESS-LH(a)s/LAVH procedures were successful. Of 50 LESS-LH(a) procedures, 2 were converted to LESS-LAVH. Of 50 LESS-LAVHs, 1 required additional ports. The LESS-LH(a) group had a shorter operative time and less postoperative pain compared with the LESS-LAVH group. Operative complications were not significantly different between the groups. CONCLUSIONS LESS-LH(a) and LESS-LAVH are both feasible and safe methods, with similar surgical outcomes. In terms of operative time and postoperative pain, LESS-LH(a) is superior to LESS-LAVH.

Abstract
Background Prolapse of the fallopian tube into the vaginal vault is a rarely reported complication that may occur after hysterectomy. Clinicians can miss the diagnosis of this disregarded complication when dealing with post-hysterectomy vaginal bleeding. Objectives We performed a systematic review in order to describe the clinical presentation, therapeutic management and outcome of fallopian tube prolapse occurring after hysterectomy. Search Strategy A systematic search of MEDLINE and EMBASE references from January 1980 to December 2010 was performed. We included articles that reported cases of fallopian tube prolapse after hysterectomy. Data from eligible studies were independently extracted onto standardized forms by two reviewers. Results Twenty-eight articles including 51 cases of fallopian tube prolapse after hysterectomy were included in this systematic review. Clinical presentations included abdominal pain, dyspareunia, post- coital bleeding, and/or vaginal discharge. Two cases were asymptomatic and diagnosed at routine checkup. The surgical management reported comprised partial or total salpingectomy, with vaginal repair in some cases combined with oophorectomy using different approaches (vaginal approach, combined vaginal-laparoscopic approach, laparoscopic approach, or laparotomy). Six patients were initially treated by silver nitrate application without success. Conclusions This systematic review provided a precise summary of the clinical characteristics and treatment of patients presenting with fallopian tube prolapse following hysterectomy published in the past 30 years. We anticipate that these results will help inform current investigations and treatment.

Abstract
Gynecological surgery is evolving continuously. Laparoendoscopic single-site surgery (LESS) is the recent addition in this field that stands to benefit almost 40% of women in midlife who will eventually undergo adnexal surgery or hysterectomy. Carried out through a single umbilical incision, the potential benefit of single site surgery is improvement in operative morbidity and cosmesis. The safety, feasibility and efficacy of laparoendoscopic single site procedures have been established in studies over the last few years. In this article, we will review the nomenclature, instruments, and the evidence around the commonly performed gynecologic surgeries using the LESS procedure.

Abstract
Vaginal cuff dehiscence and evisceration are rare but serious complications of pelvic surgery, specifically hysterectomy. The data on risks of vaginal cuff dehiscence are variable, and there is no consensus on how to manage this complication. In our review, we present a summary of the risk factors, with symptoms, precipitating events, and treatment options for patients with vaginal cuff dehiscence after pelvic surgery. In addition, we provide a review of the current literature on this important surgical outcome and suggestions for future research on the incidence and prevention of vaginal cuff dehiscence.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The three approaches to hysterectomy for benign disease are abdominal hysterectomy (AH), vaginal hysterectomy (VH), and laparoscopic hysterectomy (LH). Laparoscopic hysterectomy has three further subdivisions depending on the part of the procedure performed laparoscopically. OBJECTIVES To assess the most beneficial and least harmful surgical approach to hysterectomy for women with benign gynaecological conditions. SEARCH STRATEGY We searched the Cochrane Menstrual Disorders and Subfertility Group Specialised Register of controlled trials (15 August 2008), CENTRAL (The Cochrane Library 2008, Issue 3), MEDLINE (1950 to August 2008), EMBASE (1980 to August 2008), Biological Abstracts (1969 to August 2008), the National Research Register, and relevant citation lists. SELECTION CRITERIA Only randomised controlled trials comparing one surgical approach to hysterectomy with another were included. DATA COLLECTION AND ANALYSIS Independent selection of trials and data extraction were employed following Cochrane guidelines. MAIN RESULTS There were 34 included studies with 4495 women. The benefits of VH versus AH were speedier return to normal activities (mean difference (MD) 9.5 days), fewer febrile episodes or unspecified infections (odds ratio (OR) 0.42), and shorter duration of hospital stay (MD 1.1 days). The benefits of LH versus AH were speedier return to normal activities (MD 13.6 days), lower intraoperative blood loss (MD 45 cc), a smaller drop in haemoglobin (MD 0.55 g/dl), shorter hospital stay (MD 2.0 days), and fewer wound or abdominal wall infections (OR 0.31) at the cost of more urinary tract (bladder or ureter) injuries (OR 2.41) and longer operation time (MD 20.3 minutes). The benefits of LAVH versus TLH were fewer febrile episodes or unspecified infection (OR 3.77) and shorter operation time (MD 25.3 minutes). There was no evidence of benefits of LH versus VH and the operation time (MD 39.3 minutes) as well as substantial bleeding (OR 2.76) were increased in LH. For some important outcomes, the analyses were underpowered to detect important differences or they were simply not reported in trials. Data were absent for many important long-term outcome measures. AUTHORS' CONCLUSIONS Because of equal or significantly better outcomes on all parameters, VH should be performed in preference to AH where possible. Where VH is not possible, LH may avoid the need for AH however the length of the surgery increases as the extent of the surgery performed laparoscopically increases. The surgical approach to hysterectomy should be decided by the woman in discussion with her surgeon in light of the relative benefits and hazards.

Abstract
The objective of this study was to compare surgical outcomes for laparoscopically assisted vaginal hysterectomy (LAVH) with total laparoscopic hysterectomy (TLH) in three teaching hospitals in the Netherlands. This study is a multicenter cohort retrospective analysis of consecutive cases (Canadian Task Force classification II-2). One hundred and four women underwent a laparoscopic hysterectomy between March 1995 and March 2005 at one of three teaching hospitals. This included 37 women who underwent LAVH and 67 who underwent TLH. Blood loss, operating time, and intraoperative complications such as bladder or ureteric injury as well as conversion to an open procedure were recorded. In the TLH group, average age was statistically significant lower, as well as the mean parity, whereas estimated uterus size was statistically significant larger, compared to the LAVH group. Main indication in both groups was dysfunctional uterine bleeding. In the TLH group, mean blood loss (173 mL) was significant lower compared to the LAVH group (457 mL), whereas length of surgery, uterus weight, and complication rates were comparable between the two groups. The method of choice at the start of the study period was LAVH, and by the end of the study period, it had been superceded by TLH. LAVH should not be regarded as the novice’s laparoscopic hysterectomy. Moreover, with regard blood loss, TLH shows advantages above LAVH. This might be due to the influence of the altered anatomy in the vaginal stage of the LAVH procedure. Therefore, when a vaginal hysterectomy is contraindicated, TLH is the procedure of choice. LAVH remains indicated in case of vaginal hysterectomy with accompanying adnexal surgery.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To evaluate the safety and applicability of laparoscopic subtotal hysterectomy (LSH) using the plasma kinetic (PK) and lap loop systems as an alternative surgical approach in the management of uterine fibroids in women who have completed their families. STUDY DESIGN Sixty-two consecutive LSH were performed during this prospective study from March 2003 to March 2005 at Princess Royal University Hospital, Kent, UK. RESULTS All study patients had menorrhagia resistant to at least one form of therapy, with a mean duration of symptoms of 3.5 years. In addition, four patients had previous myomectomy. The mean number of fibroids removed was 2.7. The mean weight of the uterus was 141.9 g. The mean operative time was 46.8 min, and the mean blood loss was 126.6 mL. The overall perioperative complication rate was 4.8% with no visceral injury, or return to theatre. At follow-up, all patients were satisfied with surgery. CONCLUSION The study describes the first application of the PK and Lap Loop systems in LSH for the surgical management of uterine fibroids in women in whom fertility is not an issue, and its findings suggest that this minimally invasive technique is a safe, and valid alternative. Larger adequately-powered studies are however still required.
