Introduction: Avoiding laparotomy by performing laparoscopic hysterectomy, of various types, has been shown to be beneficial in a number of ways. Shorter recovery times, shorter length of hospital stay and convalescence period, and earlier return to work than after abdominal hysterectomy are some of the positive factors cited. However, it is often considered that there is a size limitation of 14-16 weeks gestation to the feasibility of laparoscopic hysterectomy. Whilst a number of studies have shown that the laparoscopic-assisted vaginal hysterectomy (LAVH) successfully manages the large uterus, little has been published regarding a total laparoscopic approach.

Modern laparoscopic surgery is widely used throughout the world as it offers greater advantages than open procedures. The laparoscopic approach to hysterectomy has evolved over the last 20 years. Hysterectomies are performed abdominally, vaginally, laparoscopically or, more recently, with robotic assistance. Indications for a total laparoscopic hysterectomy are similar to those for total abdominal hysterectomy, and most commonly include uterine leiomyomata, pelvic organ prolapse, and abnormal uterine bleeding. When hysterectomy is going to be performed, the surgeon should decide which method is safer and more cost-effective. This paper aims to make a review of the indications, techniques and advantages of laparoscopic hysterectomy as well as the criteria to be used for appropriate patient selection.

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.

The aim of this study was to compare the clinical results of total laparoscopic hysterectomy (TLH) for large uterus with uterus size of 12 gestational weeks (g.w.) or greater through transvaginal or uterine morcellation approaches. We retrospectively collected the clinical data of those undergoing total laparoscopic hysterectomies between January 2004 and June 2012. Intraoperative and postoperative outcomes were compared between patients whose large uterus was removed through transvaginal or morcellation approaches. The morcellation group has significantly shorter mean operation time and uterus removal time and smaller incidence of intraoperative complications than the transvaginal group (allP<0.05). No statistical significant difference regarding the mean blood loss, uterine weight, and length of hospital stay was noted in the morcellation and transvaginal groups (allP>0.05). In two groups, there was one patient in each group who underwent conversion to laparotomy due to huge uterus size. With regard to postoperative complications, there was no statistical significant difference regarding the frequencies of pelvic hematoma, vaginal stump infection, and lower limb venous thrombosis in two groups (allP>0.05). TLH through uterine morcellation can reduce the operation time, uterus removal time, and the intraoperative complications and provide comparable postoperative outcomes compared to that through the transvaginal approaches.
