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.

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.

Background.The idea of laparoscopic assisted vaginal hysterectomy (LAVH) is to convert a potential abdominal hysterectomy to a vaginal one, thus decreasing associated morbidity and hastening recovery. We compared intraoperative and postoperative outcomes between LAVH and abdominal hysterectomy, to find out if LAVH achieves better clinical results compared with abdominal hysterectomy.Material and methods.A total of 48 women were enrolled in the study. Finally 17 patients underwent LAVH (cases) and 20 underwent abdominal hysterectomy (controls). All surgeries were performed by a set of gynecologists with more or less same level of surgical experience and expertise.Results.None of the patients in LAVH required conversion to laparotomy. Mean operating time was 30 minutes longer in LAVH group as compared to abdominal hysterectomy group (167.06+31.97 min versus 135.25+31.72 min;P<0.05). However, the mean blood loss in LAVH was 100 mL lesser than that in abdominal hysterectomy and the difference was found to be statistically significant (248.24+117.79 mL versus 340.00+119.86 mL;P<0.05). Another advantage of LAVH was significantly lower pain scores on second and third postoperative days. Overall complications and postoperative hospital stay were not significantly different between the two groups.

Background: Hysterectomy is the most common operation performed by the gynaecologist. The uterus can be removed using any of the technique and approaches, including abdominal, vaginal, laparoscopic. There are no formal guidelines available regarding the most appropriate route of hysterectomy. Hence, a comparison of the clinical results of the three routes of hysterectomy is needed.Methods: a prospective study was performed at Indira Gandhi government medical college Nagpur between September 2015- October 2017, among 150 women indicated to undergo hysterectomy for benign and mobile uterine conditions. They were assigned 50 each to three routes of hysterectomy (abdominal, non-descent vaginal hysterectomy and Laparoscopic assisted vaginal hysterectomy). Outcome measures including operating time, blood loss, fall in haemoglobin, intra-operative complications, duration of analgesia, VAS score, hospital stay and post-operative morbidity were assessed and compared between the three groups.Results: Fibroid uterus (65.33%), was the commonest indication for hysterectomy. As far as operating time, intra-operative blood loss, fall in haemoglobin, duration of analgesia, VAS score and hospital stay P Value was significant among the three group. Incidence of complications was least in the NDVH group.Conclusions: In developing country like India with poor health care resources, scarcity of beds and non-availability of sophisticated equipment NDVH offers a distinctive advantage over other route of hysterectomy and should be the route of choice for benign uterine conditions.

Background: Laparoscopic assisted vaginal hysterectomy (LAVH) is increasingly becoming popular. It's really a technique made to replace abdominal hysterectomy. The need of the hour is the minimal invasive surgery, early discharge from the hospital, early resumption of work, avoidance of disfiguring scar on the abdomen and cost-effectiveness of the procedure which are as important as cure of the disease. The objective of this study is to compare the effectiveness and safety of laparoscopic and vaginal hysterectomies for non-descent uteri (NDVH).Methods: The study was undertaken in the department of obstetrics and gynecology, Amrita Institute of Medical Sciences, Kochi for the period of one year. About 50 women in each group undergoing LAVH and NDVH for benign pelvic conditions were studied preoperatively, intra-operatively and post-operatively in detail for indications, operative time, intraoperative blood loss, duration of stay in hospital.Results: The mean operative time in LAVH was 240.6 minutes and in NDVH 168.3 minutes. Minimum duration of stay was in LAVH 3 days and in NDVH 4 days. Mean duration of stay in both groups was 6.4 days. Maximum duration of stay-15 days in both groups.Conclusions: LAVH is a better approach for a larger uterus whereas NDVH is preferable for a small uterus, not only for shorter operative time and minimal wound, but also for much lower costs.

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.
