Background: In the present scenario of importance non-invasive surgery, there is increase in interest and requirement of vaginal hysterectomy for non-prolapsed uterus, i.e. non-descent vaginal hysterectomy (NDVH) due to its scarless surgery. it has much more advantages than that of abdominal hysterectomy in term of cosmesis, lesser duration of surgery, lesser intraoperative complication, lesser post-operative morbidity and early resumption to work. The aim of the present study is to asses and compare various factors like duration of surgery, intraoperative blood loss, intraoperative and postoperative complication postoperative morbidities, pain perception on 3rd post-operative day, post-operative ambulation, duration of hospital stay, time taken to resume normal work, follow up complains and afterall to decide the appropriate route of hysterectomy for benign conditions.Methods: Hundreds of patients were selected as per the criteria. They were divided into two groups NDVH (non-descent vaginal hysterectomy) and TAH (total abdominal hysterectomy) according to the inclusion criteria. Above mentioned factors are compared between the two groups.Results: Duration of surgery, intraoperative blood loss, intraoperative complications, post-operative morbidities and complications, duration of hospital stay, time required to resume normal work are less in NDVH group.Conclusions: Non-descent vaginal hysterectomy is a better alternative to abdominal hysterectomy for benign conditions.

Background: Hysterectomy is a common surgery performed by gynecologist worldwide. It can be done either by vaginal, abdominal or laparoscopic route. Non decent vaginal hysterectomy (NDVH) is less invasive, less time consuming and scar less surgery. The blood loss during surgery, intra-operative and post-operative complications are less in NDVH compare to TAH (total abdominal hysterectomy). Aim and objective: to compare the clinical outcome between NDVH and TAH. Method: A hospital based prospective study was done at Nepalgunj medical collage Kolhapur between March 2018–March 2019, 60 cases fulfilling selection criteria were selected, 30 cases underwent NDVH next 30 cases underwent TAH. Outcome is measured on the basis of operating time, blood loss during surgery, hospital stay and post-operative complications. Result: The most common indication for hysterectomy was fibroid uterus in both the groups (NDVH and TAH). The operating time, blood loss, hospital stay and post-operative complications were less in NDVH as compare to TAH. Conclusion: NDVH is a choice of surgery over TAH for freely mobile uterus with benign pathology and uterus size less than twelve weeks and without adenexal pathology.

Abstract Background Regional anaesthesia has been proposed to reduce intraoperative blood loss, duration of hospital stay and in-hospital complications with improved postoperative pain control. General anaesthesia is advantageous for prolonged surgeries. We hypothesized that combined regional and general anaesthesia would offer advantages of both in pelvi-acetabular fracture surgeries. Methods We identified 71 patients who underwent open reduction and internal fixation of pelvi-acetabular fractures from May 2012 to 2013 in our trauma centre. We excluded patients with incomplete records (n = 4) and other injuries operated along (n = 8). Hence, 59 patients were divided into three groups: G group (general anaesthesia), R group (regional anaesthesia) and GR group (combined regional and general anaesthesia). Main outcome measurements studied were intraoperative blood loss, duration of hospital stay, duration of surgery and intraoperative and postoperative complications. Results No differences were obtained in between the groups in terms of age, gender, Injury Severity Score, number of comorbidities, or duration from injury to surgery. No significant differences were found between the three groups for intraoperative blood loss, days of hospital stay and duration of surgery. Intraoperative and postoperative complications were also comparable between the groups (p > 0.05). Conclusions There is no specific significant advantage of the technique of anaesthesia on the observed perioperative complications in pelvi-acetabular fracture surgeries.

Aims: Hysterectomy can be performed by abdominal, vaginal and laparoscopic methods. Laparoscopic hysterectomy has been reported as an alternative to traditional abdominal hysterectomy with benefit of early recovery, short hospital stay and less operative complications. This study compared laparoscopic versus abdominal hysterectomy in terms of surgery time, blood loss, post-operative recovery, and duration of hospital stay. Methods: This is a retrospective comparative study among sixty patients who underwent laparoscopic or abdominal hysterectomy for various indications in the Department of Obstetrics and Gynaecology of the Third affiliated hospital of Zhengzhou University from January to March 2007. The data of the patients meeting the set criteria were obtained from the hospital records and hospital based computerized coding system. Enrolled cases were divided in two groups with thirty in each arm. Group TLH (total laparoscopic hysterectomy) was designated for patients who underwent total laparoscopic hysterectomy and group TAH (total abdominal hysterectomy) for those who underwent total abdominal hysterectomy. Results: There was comparatively less blood loss in TLH group (60.2±5.17 ml versus 75.7±7.12 ml) but it was statistically insignificant (p=0.12). The laparoscopic hysterectomy took longer time (107.6±32.4 min versus 74.9±31.1 min) than the abdominal (p<0.001). There was early recovery among TLH group 1.6±0.6 days versus 2.1±0.5 days in TAH group (p=0.001). Mean duration of hospital stay was significantly shorter in TLH group 7.6±1.9 days versus 10.1±2.1 days in TAH group (p<0.001). Conclusions: Laparoscopic hyserectomy is an effective alternative to abdominal hysterectomy with the advantage of less intra-operative blood loss, fast recovery and short hospital stay.

IntroductionHysterectomy is the most common operation performed by gynecologist worldwide. In the present era emphasis is given on minimal invasive surgery so Non-Descent Vaginal Hysterectomy (NDVH) has gained more interest over Total abdominal Hysterectomy (TAH). NDVH has several benefits over TAH in terms of blood loss, operating time, post-operative complications, recovery and hospital stays. The objective of the study was to compare the clinical outcome of NDVH over TAH with respect to operating time, blood loss, hospital stays, intraoperative and early postoperative complication and to find out the most efficient route for hysterectomy.  MethodsThe study was conducted at College of Medical Science-Teaching Hospital, Bharatpur, Chitwan, Nepal between May 2017- May 2020. Fifty cases each of NDVH and TAH group fulfilling the selection criteria were included in the study. Outcome was measured on the basis of operating time, blood loss, hospital stay and intra an d post-operative complications.  ResultsBaseline characteristics were similar between both the groups. The most common indicationfor hysterectomy in both the group was fibroid uterus. There was no intra-operativecomplication in NDVH group but in TAH group bowel injury was encountered in 3 cases.The operating time, blood loss, hospital stay and post-operative complications were less inNDVH as compare to TAH ConclusionsNDVH is the better choice of surgery than TAH for the non-prolapsed uterus, size less than12 weeks with benign pathology.

Introduction: Hysterectomy, the removal of uterus, is a major gynecological surgery performed in Bhutan. It is performed for both benign and malignant gynecological conditions. This study was conducted to assess the socio-demographic profiles, types of hysterectomies and their indications, and duration of surgery and duration of peri-operative hospital stay among women who had hysterectomy at the national referral hospital of Bhutan.  Method: This was a retrospective study conducted at the Jigme Dorji Wangchuck National Referral Hospital, Thimphu. Data of women, who had hysterectomy from 1st January to 31st December, 2020 was extracted into a structured questionnaire by investigators from the patients record maintained at the record section, JDWNRH. Ethical approval was sought from the Research Ethics Board of Health. Data were entered into EpiData 3.1 and was analyzed using descriptive commands of STATA 13.1 Result: Hysterectomy comprised of 9.8% of gynecological surgery in 2020. The commonest route of approach was total abdominal hysterectomy which comprised of 81.7% of hysterectomies. It was found out that 92.9% of hysterectomies were performed under general anesthesia and 97.4% of the surgeries were done as elective or planned cases. The mean (+SD) duration of surgery from skin incision to closure was shortest for vaginal hysterectomy (68.8 + 17.6 minutes) and longest for total laparoscopic hysterectomy (210 + 35.2 minutes). The duration of peri-operative hospital stay was shortest for vaginal hysterectomy. Conclusion: Total abdominal hysterectomy was the common approach despite vaginal hysterectomy being performed under regional anesthesia with shorter duration of surgery and shorter hospital stays.

Background: Laparoscopic assisted vaginal hysterectomy (LAVH) has become an alternative to Total Abdominal Hysterectomy (TAH) in cases difficult to manage via vaginal route. To compare the TAH and LAVH for benign uterine pathology.Methods: This prospective study conducted with the outcomes of Laparoscopic assisted vaginal hysterectomy with Total abdominal hysterectomy over a period of 2 years in 100 patients who are undergoing hysterectomies for benign uterine pathology. 50 underwent TAH and 50 underwent Laparoscopic Assisted Vaginal hysterectomy.Results: The average duration of surgery in TAH group is 50 minutes and it is 75 minutes in LAVH group (P<0.05). In TAH group, blood loss was more (250-500ml) in 28% of patients, where as it was <250 ml in 92% of patients in LAVH group. Mean blood loss is 238 ml and 130 ml in TAH and LAVH group (P<0.01). Only 3 (6%) patients in LAVH group required blood transfusion (P>0.05). Recovery and return to work after discharge from hospital was early with LAVH group as early. Recovery and return to work after discharge from hospital was early with LAVH group as early as 2 weeks in 46% of patients. In TAH group, it was late by 4 weeks in 52% of patients and by 6 weeks in 10% of patients.Conclusions: Thus, it can be concluded that LAVH is safe with less blood loss, shorter duration of hospital stay, early recovery to work, and other intra-operative and post-operative complications.

Background: Vaginal hysterectomy -the signature operation of gynecologic profession, is a hallmark of gynecological extirpative hysterectomy surgery and surgical excellance1. In the era of minimal invasive surgery, Nondescent vaginal hysterectomy has evolved over the years and is opted over abdominal route. It is because of lower morbidity, less postoperative pain, more rapid   return to normal activities and lesser hospital stay associated with this route of surgery. Practice of hydrodissection with diluted adrenalin has been noticed by few surgeons.Methods: We did a retrospective analysis of 267 cases of vaginal hysterectomies in our hospital over a period of three years, regarding the benefit of hydro dissection in reducing the blood loss and time of surgery, so as to incorporate this technique on routine basis.Results: Of 267 cases, NDVH was done in 107 (40.1%) cases, and 160 (59.9%) patients underwent vaginal hysterectomy with PFR. Of 267 cases, 121 (45.3%) cases had hydro dissection. In 146 (54.7%) cases hydro dissection was not done. The mean blood loss was significantly reduced in cases with hydro dissection to a mean of 1.07 mops when compared to cases with no hydro dissection-mean of 1.71 mops. Duration of surgery was also significantly reduced to a mean of 39.9 minutes in cases with hydro dissection when compared to cases with no hydro dissection with a mean of 46.3 minutes. There was no significant change in duration of hospital stay.Conclusions: Hydro dissection with diluted adrenaline should be routinely practice by all vaginal surgeons to reduce the duration of surgery and intraoperative blood loss.

Background: Non Descent Vaginal Hysterectomy (NDVH) is removal of uterus through vagina in non-prolapsed uterus. The objective of the present study was to assess safety and feasibility of NDVH in patients with large uterus (>12 weeks size uterus).Methods: Retrospective study was conducted in Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology of Shree Dharmasthala Manjunatheshwara (SDM) College of Medical Sciences and Hospital, Dharwad, India from May2014 to May 2017. Effort was made to perform hysterectomies vaginally in women with benign conditions with large uterine size. Information regarding age, parity, uterine size, blood loss, duration of operation, number of fibroids, other surgical difficulties encountered, intra–operative and post-operative complications were recorded.Results: Total of 65 cases was selected for NDVH with large uterine size. All successfully underwent NDVH. 25 patients had uterus of 10-12 weeks size, 17 had uterine size of 12-14 weeks size. Mean duration of surgery was 90 min. Mean blood loss was 300ml. Post-operative complications were minimal. All patients had early mobility with faster resumption to daily activities. Mean hospital stay was 4-5 days.Conclusions: Non descent vaginal hysterectomy is safe, cost effective method of hysterectomy in women with large uterus requiring hysterectomy for benign conditions with less complications, shorter hospital stay and less morbidity.

Aims: To evaluate the rational approach of non-descent vaginal hysterectomy in advancing gynaecology practice.Study Design: Retrospective study and period from 1st July 2013 to 31st June 2014. Setting Kumudini Women's Medical College & Hospital, Mirzapur, Tangail.Patients: All selective patients requiring hysterectomy for benign gynecological disorders who did not have any uterine prolapse were recruited for this study. In bigger size uterus morcellation techniques like bisection, debulking, myomectomy, slicing, or combination of these were used to remove the uterus.Main outcome measures: Data regarding indication, age, parity, uterine size, estimated blood loss, length of operation, complication and hospital stay were recorded.Results: A total of 50 cases were selected for non-descent vaginal hysterectomy all of them successfully underwent non-descent vaginal hysterectomy. Commonest age group was (41-45 years) i.e. 46%. All patients were parous. Uterus size was less then 8 wks 21 cases, 8wks to 12 wks in 27 cases, more then 12 wks 02 cases. Commonest indication was DUB of uterus (44%). Mean duration of surgery was 50.5 minutes. Mean blood loss was 100ml. Blood transfusion was required in four cases. Average duration of hospital stay was 3.1 days. Complications were minimal which included UTI and Vault infection.Conclusions: NDVH is safe feasible and patient friendly. We suggest that our modern gynecologist will be more expertise and familiar to this procedure in near future.KYAMC Journal Vol. 6, No.-2, Jan 2016, Page 637-641
