The University

Between 1993 and 1994, 368 women underwent hysterectomies for benign disorders at the University of Kiel. Of these, 58.7% were performed either by pelviscopic or by laparotomy Classic Intrafascial Supracervical Hysterectomy (CISH). Of the remaining, 14.8% were performed by abdominal hysterectomy, 13.6% by Intrafascial Vaginal Hysterectomy (IVH), 12.2% by Vaginal Hysterectomy (VH), and only 0.05% by Laparoscopic Assisted Vaginal Hysterectomy (LAVH). Comparative data of these six surgical techniques concerning patients characteristics, indications for operation, histological features, blood loss, operating time, hospital stay, uterine weights and postoperatively used analgesics are described.

Inflammatory Response To Injury

The magnitude of the inflammatory response to surgery depends on the degree of injury during surgical procedures. Laparoscopic techniques are generally associated with less postoperative pain and shorter hospital stay compared with open procedures, presumably due to less tissue injury and reduced inflammatory response. However, no study has been done, to our knowledge, to assess the inflammatory response to surgical trauma following laparoscopic assisted vaginal hysterectomy. We have, therefore, compared the magnitude of the inflammatory response to injury after laparoscopically assisted vaginal hysterectomy (11 patients) and abdominal hysterectomy (11 patients) by measuring serum C-reactive protein (CRP) and interleukin-6 (IL-6) on admission, and at 24 and 48 hours after the operation. Postoperatively, serum CRP rose significantly in both groups but levels in patients who underwent laparoscopically assisted vaginal hysterectomy were significantly lower than in those who underwent abdominal hysterectomy. Serum IL-6 rose significantly after abdominal hysterectomy but not after laparoscopically assisted vaginal hysterectomy. Our results show that the inflammatory response to surgical trauma was significantly less after laparoscopically assisted vaginal hysterectomy than after abdominal hysterectomy confirming that the laparoscopic procedure causes less tissue damage than the abdominal procedure.

Introduction: In current era, the trend for minimal invasive surgery is increaseddue to its established advantages. With the same, there increasing trend for laparoscopichysterectomy. But it carries certain risks in certain situations. Objectives: The study wasconducted to see the outcome of laparoscopic hysterectomies. Study Design: Retrospective,analytic study. Study Period: June 2012 to May, 2015. Method: A study was conducted to reviewthe outcome of Laparoscopic hysterectomy over a period of three years from June 2012 to May2015. Total one hundred cases were included in the study. These patients had hysterectomyeither total laparoscopic hysterectomy or laparoscopic assisted vaginal hysterectomy. Afterpreoperative evaluation, hysterectomy was done either total laparoscopic or laparoscopicassisted vaginal hysterectomy. Data was collected regarding patients profile variables,indications for hysterectomy, intraoperative findings, intraoperative time, postoperative recoveryfindings, analgesia requirements and discharge time from the hospital. Results: Results of thestudy showed that there was no significant increase in complication of urinary tract or bowelinjury. Operative time was decreased with time. Most common indication for hysterectomywas fibroid uterus or dysfunctional uterine bleeding. Patient recovery was smooth and postoperativeanalgesia was much less as compared to the routine. Patient hospital stay was lessas compared to the routine procedures for hysterectomy. Conclusion: It is concluded fromthe study that laparoscopic hysterectomy is safe procedure with the clear advantages for thepatient. In the study complication rate, operating time was comparable to the already publishedstudies. With proper training it is acceptable alternate to abdominal hysterectomy with clearadvantages for the patient.
