Abstract
Hysterectomy, which can be conducted through abdominal or vaginal routes, is one of the most common gynecological procedures performed worldwide. When the patient is not able to undergo a vaginal hysterectomy due to contraindications involving a narrow pelvis or endometriosis and technical difficulties, laparoscopic removal of the uterus is the recommended method over abdominal hysterectomy. Additionally, the type of surgery depends on the expertise of the surgeon. Therefore, this systematic review aimed to evaluate different measures related to total laparoscopic (TLH) versus non-descent vaginal hysterectomy (NDVH) in women with benign uterine pathologies. ScienceDirect, PubMed, and Google Scholar databases were searched from 2019 to 2023 for a literature review using keywords including "Non-descent Vaginal Hysterectomy," AND "Total Laparoscopic Hysterectomy," AND "Benign Uterine Pathologies." This systematic review includes five studies based on the selection criteria. The data were extracted and a quality assessment of the studies was performed. The review concluded that NDVH has an advantage over TLH as a scarless surgery performed in a very short period and with minimum blood loss with fewer complications and in terms of cost-effectiveness. However, the postoperative parameters and satisfaction with the TLH technique were better than the NDVH technique, but the procedure was much more time-consuming and needed laparoscopic surgical expertise. The duration of hospitalization in NDVH and TLH was nearly the same. Furthermore, both techniques could be employed for salpingo-oophorectomy or when there are adnexal masses and adhesions present; however, TLH may be the best course of action.

Abstract
Abdominal hysterectomy is a surgical procedure that involves the removal of the uterus through an incision in the abdominal wall. Hysterectomy is associated with a number of complications; hence, early mobilization and physiotherapy are necessary following surgery. This is a case report of a 45-year-old female who presented with complaints of abdominal pain associated with white discharge. Investigations showed an anterior submucosal fibroid measuring 3.2x2.7 cm and the patient underwent an abdominal hysterectomy. Early mobilization and physiotherapy were started on Day 6, which included breathing exercises, upper limb mobility, lower limb mobility, and positioning and postural advice. Yoga and pilates therapy were integrated into the protocol starting from the second week. The patient attended 30 days of therapy in two phases and was advised to continue even after discharge. We concluded that this unique approach of including pilates and yoga showed a positive impact on the patient's condition in terms of her quality of life, strength, endurance, and power, even decreasing her difficulty in performing activities of daily living.

Abstract
Aim To study the role of vaginal hysterectomy in non-descent uterus and to compare it with abdominal hysterectomy with respect to operative time, intraoperative blood loss and complications, ambulation, and postoperative complications. Materials and methods A prospective non-randomized study was carried out on 200 cases at a rural tertiary care center in B.G. Nagara, Karnataka, India for a period of 18 months after obtaining institutional ethical committee approval. One hundred patients underwent a vaginal hysterectomy, and there other 100 underwent an abdominal hysterectomy for similar indications. Results Mean age, parity, mode of delivery, BMI, uterine size, and anesthesia were similar between the groups. The most common indication was fibroid uterus (50%). It was found that the vaginal hysterectomy group was associated with significantly reduced mean operative duration and a decline in postoperative Hemoglobin when compared to the abdominal hysterectomy group. Patients who underwent vaginal hysterectomy had less postoperative pain and were ambulated earlier and discharged earlier. Also, postoperative complications were more common in those who underwent abdominal hysterectomy. Conclusion Vaginal hysterectomy is a safe and the least invasive route and is associated with lesser complications and should be chosen as the preferred method of hysterectomy, whenever feasible.

Comparison of Surgical Outcomes After Total Laparoscopic Hysterectomy or Total Vaginal Hysterectomy for Large Uteri. Obstet Gynecol 2021; 137:445-453. [PMID: 33543889 DOI: 10.1097/aog.0000000000004274] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/30/2020] [Accepted: 11/19/2020] [Indexed: 12/15/2022]
Abstract
OBJECTIVE To compare surgical outcomes between total laparoscopic hysterectomy and total vaginal hysterectomy with uterine weight greater than 250 g. METHODS We conducted a retrospective cohort study using data from American College of Surgeons' National Quality Improvement Project Hysterectomy Specific Database. Women with uterine weight greater than 250 g undergoing hysterectomy for benign indications by total laparoscopic hysterectomy or total vaginal hysterectomy were matched by propensity scores, which were calculated using preoperative characteristics and uterine weight. Total vaginal hysterectomy was matched to total laparoscopic hysterectomy at a ratio of 1:2. Pairwise analysis was performed using Wilcoxon rank-sum and Fisher exact tests as appropriate. Multivariable logistic regression was performed to identify the independent effect of total vaginal hysterectomy on surgical outcomes. RESULTS There were 1,870 total vaginal hysterectomies that were matched to 3,740 total laparoscopic hysterectomies. No differences in preoperative demographics and comorbidities were seen for the patients. Uterine weight was similar for both groups: 376 g (interquartile range 293-501) for total vaginal hysterectomy and 384 g (interquartile range 302-515) for total laparoscopic hysterectomy (odds ratio [OR] 0.98, 95% CI 0.92-1.09). The rate of composite major complications was similar between total vaginal hysterectomy and total laparoscopic hysterectomy (4.3% vs 5.3%, OR 0.80, 95% CI 0.61-1.05). Intraoperative cystotomies were higher with total vaginal hysterectomy (0.8% vs 0.3%, OR 2.74, 95% CI 1.17-6.61), and ureteral injuries were more common with total laparoscopic hysterectomy (1.2% vs 0.2%, OR 0.12, 95% CI 0.02-0.38). Total vaginal hysterectomy operating time was significantly shorter compared with total laparoscopic hysterectomy (77 minutes, interquartile range 56-111 vs 122 minutes, interquartile range 91-164; OR 0.69, 95% CI 0.42-0.89). After adjusting for confounders, total vaginal hysterectomy was not found to be independently associated with major morbidity (adjusted odds ratio [aOR] 0.95, 95% CI 0.18-5.11) and was associated with a lower probability of operating times exceeding 2.5 hours (aOR 0.31, 95% CI 0.27-0.43). CONCLUSION In patients matched by uterine size and preoperative characteristics, total vaginal hysterectomy is not associated with an increased composite risk of major surgical morbidity or other adverse surgical outcomes.

Abstract
Introduction In this study, we reported a single surgeon experience of total laparoscopic hysterectomy (TLH) in terms of intraoperative and early postoperative outcomes and complications. In addition, we compared our results with published literature for a reevaluation of complications and outcomes. Material and methods This present prospective study was conducted on 50 patients who underwent TLH due to benign causes. Patients diagnosed with abnormal uterine bleeding (AUB), uterine fibroids, and post-menopausal bleeding (PMB) were included in this analysis. Patients were discharged after 24 hours of surgery if there were considered fit for discharge. The patients' age, co-morbidities, size of the uterus, additional procedure along with TLH, and postoperative complications were collected and analyzed. The follow-up period was three months, done on the tenth day after surgery, the thirtieth day, and then at three months. Results The mean age of our patients was 46.42±5.01 years. The major indication of hysterectomy was fibroids diagnosed in 27 (54.0%) patients and AUB in 18 (36.0%) patients. Out of 50, 10 (20.0%) patients had a previous cesarean section, and 4 (8.0%) had a bilateral tubal ligation (BTL). Mean surgery duration was 124.26±44.74 minutes. Mean hospital stay was 2.18±0.39 days. Total complications occurred in five (10.0%) patients, ureteric injury in one (2.0%) patient, port-site infections in 2 (4.0%), and vault infections in 2 (4.0%) patients. Conclusion TLH is a safe procedure and can be performed with minimal complications in patients with benign uterine etiology.

Abstract
A 49-year-old perimenopausal female presented with abnormal uterine bleeding (AUB) and chronic lower abdominal pain with associated urinary urgency. The patient elected to have an abdominal supracervical hysterectomy with bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy for a large, symptomatic fibroid uterus. Preoperative ultrasounds revealed a uterine size of 22 x 20 x 17 cm and a 15.9 x 13 x 9 x 9.2 cm subserosal fibroid occupying the majority of the fundus and body of the uterus. Under general anesthesia, abdominal supracervical hysterectomy and bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy with a midline vertical incision were completed. Pathology reported a uterus with multiple leiomyomata as well as endometrial polyps with focal atypical endometrial hyperplasia and squamous metaplasia. Overall, the uterine corpus with one attached adnexa weighed 3433 g and was 25.8 x 20.3 x 15cm. Choice of surgical approach in a hysterectomy depends upon clinical circumstances, the surgeon's technical expertise, and patient preference. Although minimally invasive hysterectomies via vaginal and laparoscopic approaches are now preferred due to decreased hospitalization stays and postoperative recovering times, individualized treatment plans for patients should be considered depending on uterine size and the possibility of not achieving adequate exposure, which may lead to complications. As this case presents, an abdominal hysterectomy is an important option for certain patients where the use of other approaches could pose significant risk.

Abstract
Background: Concept of short stay surgery is getting popular globally to maximize use of available health resources. The objective of the study was to determine thirty day readmission rate due to complications after short stay hysterectomy. Material & Methods: This descriptive cross sectional study was conducted in Department of Obstetrics & Gynae from 1st January 2018 to 31 December 2018. Sample size was 72. Sampling technique was consecutive, non-probability. Patients having obstetrical hysterectomy or co-morbidities needing prolonged hospital stay were excluded. Data collecting tool was specially designed proforma. The observation for readmission was spread over a span of 30 days. Our socio-demographic variables were age in years, parity, residence and education. Age and parity were measured on numerical scale and expressed as mean and SD. Education and residence were categorical variables. Research variables were type of hysterectomy and re-admission due to complications measured on nominal scale. Categorical were analyzed as frequency and percentages using SPSS version 17. Results: Out of 72 hysterectomies, 42(58.33%) were performed abdominally and 30(41.67%) were performed vaginally. In TAH group, 3(7.14%) patients and in VH group, 2(6.66%) patients had complications that required readmission. Pelvic Hematoma was found in 2(4.76%) patients of TAH group and in 1(3.3%) patients of VH group. Pelvic abscess was formed in VH group in 1(3.33%) of patients but not in TAH group. Urinary retention occurred in 1(2.38%) of TAH group but not in VH group. Conclusion: Short stay hysterectomy has lower re-admission rate due to less number of complications, with a view to explore ways to increase bed availability in our setup.

Abstract
STUDY OBJECTIVE To determine the safety and efficacy of advanced electrothermal bipolar vessel sealing (EBVS) during vaginal hysterectomy by evaluating urinary complications, overall complications, and reoperation rate. DESIGN A retrospective cohort (Canadian Task Force classification III). SETTING High-volume gynecologic surgeon practice, private hospital. PATIENTS One thousand consecutive patients who have undergone vaginal hysterectomy for benign conditions carried out with EBVS between January 2002 and December 2012. INTERVENTIONS Vaginal hysterectomy performed using an EBVS device. MEASUREMENTS AND MAIN RESULTS One thousand consecutive patients underwent vaginal hysterectomy with advanced EBVS between January 2002 and December 2012 with an average age of 51.4 ± 8.9 years (range, 31-88) and mean weight and body mass index of 57.4 ± 7.2 kg (range, 42-105) and 25.8 ± 4.2 kg/m2 (range, 19.1-38.9), respectively. Eighty-five percent of patients (852/1000) were healthy without any severe systemic disease. A single experienced surgeon performed all vaginal hysterectomies with EBVS, specifically by not applying traction during thermofusion to avoid hemorrhage, amputating the cervix to transform the uterus to an apple shape to facilitate a vaginal approach and rotation of the uterus, and placing bi-clamp forceps on the edge of the uterus and not at a 45- or 90-degree angle. Wound closure was completed with a continuous suture. Eleven urinary complications (1.1%) were recorded (10 bladder mechanical injuries and 1 vesicovaginal fistula). This was not statistically different from the rate of .64% previously reported in the FINHYST study (p = .15). The overall rate of complications was 5.3%, and 20 patients (2.0%) required reoperation. The presence of uterine scar tissue (odds ratio, 5.5; 95% confidence interval, 1.6-19.2) and larger uterus size (odds ratio, 2.5; 95% confidence interval, 1.01-19.2) were associated with a higher risk of urinary complications. CONCLUSION The use of EBVS during vaginal hysterectomy results in urinary and overall complication rates of 1.1% and 5.3%, respectively, statistically similar to previously reported series that did not use EBVS. The use of advanced EBVS is a safe and effective method of achieving hemostasis during vaginal hysterectomy.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To evaluate the epidemiological profile and the operative complications of patients undergoing gynecological operations for benign diseases in a tertiary public hospital in the state of Roraima, Brazil. METHODS We conducted a retrospective survey through the analysis of 518 records of patients submitted to gynecological operations between January and June 2012. We included the three major operations during this period (n = 175): hysterectomy, colpoperineoplasty and suburethral sling placement. We excluded 236 cases of tubal ligation and 25 cases where it was not possible to access to medical records. RESULTS The mean age was 47.6 years; the education level of most patients was completed junior high (36.6%); 77% were from the State capital, 47.4% were in stable relationships and 26.3% were housewives. The majority of patients had given birth three or more times (86.6%), with previous vaginal delivery in 50.2%, and cesarean delivery, 21%. The main diagnostic indications for surgical treatment were uterine myoma (46.3%), urinary incontinence (27.4%) and genital dystopias (17.7%). We found three cases (1.7%) of high-grade intraepithelial lesions on Pap smear. The most common procedure was total hysterectomy (19.8%), 15.5% vaginally. The most common complication was wound infection (2.2%). CONCLUSION Women undergoing gynecological operations due to benign disease had a mean age of 47 years, most had levels of basic education, came from the capital, were in stable relationships, predominantly housewives, multiparous and showed low operative complication rates.
