Background: Removal of the uterus through vagina when performed in a case without uterine descent or prolapse is known as “non-descent vaginal hysterectomy” or NDVH. Vaginal route is preferred as compared to laparoscopic and abdominal methods. The advantages of vaginal hysterectomy being fewer complications, less post-operative stay, cost effective, and useful in bulky uterus. Aims and Objectives: The aims of the study were as follows: (1) To study the intraoperative and post-operative complications encountered during NDVH and their management. (2) To assess the intraoperative blood loss, the operative time, and post-operative hospital stay. (3) To study and check the feasibility of vaginal route as the primary route for all hysterectomies in the absence of uterine prolapse. Materials and Methods: A total of 50 patients were included in the study. Detailed history was taken including obstetric history and menstrual history and clinical examination was performed. After taking written, informed consent and doing proper pre-operative preparation, the patient was posted for NDVH. Post-operative complications were noted. Patients were asked to come for follow-up after 15 days. Results: In 92% of cases operated, no intraoperative complications were found suggesting low morbidity associated with the procedure. Hemorrhage requiring blood transfusion was found in 4% of cases. Average operative time was 61.2 ± 27.89 min, average blood loss was 170 ± 81.44 ml, and average hospital stay was 5.94 ± 4.95 days. On histopathological examination, 40% were having leiomyoma and dysfunctional uterine bleeding was seen in 22% of cases. Pain was the most common complication seen in 30% of cases while vaginal discharge was seen in just 4% of cases. About 80% of patients were discharged on post-operative day 5. Conclusion: In 92% of NDVH cases, no intraoperative complications were found suggesting low morbidity associated with the procedure. The post-operative hospital stay was restricted to 5 days in 80% of cases which indicates early discharge of the patient. Post-operative complications such as vaginal discharge and fever were seen only in 4% of cases. NDVH should, therefore, be considered as the primary route for all hysterectomies unless contraindicated in the absence of prolapse.

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.

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.

Background: Hysterectomy is the second most common operation performed by the gynecologists, next only to caesarean section. Objective of the study was to compare fall in blood haemoglobin level, duration of operation, intra- and post-op complications between non-descent vaginal hysterectomy and total laparoscopic hysterectomy and establish the better method for hysterectomy in non-descent uterus.Methods: A retrospective comparative study of 90 hysterectomies was done from a period of May 2018 - April 2019 at GMERS Medical College and Hospital Sola, with 45 cases in group of non-descent vaginal hysterectomy (NDVH) and 45 in group of total laparoscopic hysterectomy (TLH). Demographic characteristics, co-morbid conditions, indications for surgery, operative time, intra- operative blood loss, post-operative analgesia requirements, post-operative hospital stay and post-operative complications were compared between both groups. Those patients having malignancy as diagnosed by Pap smear or by D and C were excluded from the studyResults: The most common age in both groups was 41-50 years. Adenomyotic uterus was the most common indication for surgery in both groups. The mean operative time in NDVH group was 45 min while it was 80 min in TLH group. p<0.001 suggested significant difference when operative time were compared between both groups. Both groups were similar in post-operative analgesia requirement and post-operative hospital stay. Post-operative complications were similar in both groups.Conclusions: In which way to approach the uterus shall depend upon skill of the surgeon, size and pathological nature of uterus, technology available in the hospital and preference of patient as well as surgeon.

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.

Background: Hysterectomy is one of the most common surgical procedures performed by the gynaecologists and can be done through abdominal and vaginal routes. Vaginal hysterectomy technique has been introduced and performed centuries back, but is less popular due to lack of experience and misconception that the abdominal route is easier and safer. Worldwide gynaecologists continue to use abdominal route for hysterectomy that could be performed vaginally which is less invasive and has minimal complications.Objective: To compare the complications during intra-operative and post-operative period between vaginal hysterectomy and abdominal hysterectomy in non-descent uterus.Materials and Methods: This prospective randomised study was performed in Enam Medical College & Hospital, Savar, Dhaka during a period of one year. Sixty consecutive patients requiring hysterectomy for benign diseases were included in this study. Group A (n=30) underwent vaginal hysterectomy (non-descent vaginal hysterectomy) and were compared with Group B (n=30) who underwent abdominal hysterectomy. The primary outcome measures were operative time, intra-operative blood loss, post-operative complications like wound infection, febrile morbidity, post-operative systemic infection and hospital stay. Secondary outcome measures were conversion of vaginal to abdominal route and re-laparotomy. Data were collected in structured questionnaire and analysed by computer using R programming version 3.4.3.Results: Baseline characteristics were similar in two groups. There were no intra-operative complications in either group. Intra-operative blood loss was significantly more in Group B than in Group A. The overall complication rate was significantly higher with abdominal hysterectomy with a rate of 56.67% against 30% for vaginal hysterectomy. Wound infection (23.33%) was significantly higher in Group B as compared to Group A (0%). Post-operative hospital stay was significantly higher in Group B (7.03 days) than in Group A (4.57 days).Conclusion: Considering intra-operative blood loss, post-operative complications and hospital stay, vaginal route was found safer than abdominal route in this study.J Enam Med Col 2018; 8(3): 128-134

Background: Non-Descent Vaginal Hysterectomy (NDVH) is removal of uterus through vagina in non-prolapsed uterus. Objective of present study was to assess safety, feasibility of NDVH in patients with previous cesarean section.Methods: Retrospective study was conducted in department of Obstetrics and Gynecology of Shree Dharmasthala Manjunatheshwara (SDM) College of Medical Sciences, Dharwad, India from April 2008 to June 2016. Effort was made to perform hysterectomies vaginally in women with benign conditions with history of one, two or three caesarean sections. Information regarding age, parity, number of previous LSCS, uterine size, blood loss, duration of operation, difficulties in separating bladder, intra -operative, post-operative complications were recorded.Results: Total thirty cases were selected for NDVH with history of one, two and three cesarean sections. All successfully underwent NDVH, except one in which bladder injury occurred which was repaired at same time vaginally. Thirteen patients had previous one Lower Segment Cesarean Section (LSCS), sixteen had two LSCS and one had three LSCS. Commonest indication was abnormal uterine bleeding followed by leiomyoma of uterus. Mean duration of surgery was 97 min. Mean blood loss was 150 ml. Post-operative complications were minimal. Patient mobility, resumption of daily activities was fast. Mean hospital stay was 4-5 days.Conclusions: Vaginal hysterectomy is safe, cost effective method of hysterectomy in women with previous cesarean section scar requiring hysterectomy for benign conditions with fewer complications, shorter hospital stay and less morbidity.

Objectives. A prospective study was carried out to compare vaginal hysterectomy (VH) and robotically assisted hysterectomy (RH) for benign gynecological disease.Materials and Methods. All patients who underwent hysterectomy from March 2010 to March 2012 for a benign disease were included. Patients’ demographics per and post surgery results were collected from medical files. A questionnaire was also conducted 2 months after surgery.Results. Sixty patients were included in the RH group and thirty four in the VH one. Operative time was significantly longer in the RH group ( versus  min; ). Blood loss and length of hospital stay were significantly reduced: versus  ml; , and versus days; , respectively. Less pain was reported at D1 and D2 by RH patients, and levels of analgesia were lower compared to those observed in the VH group. No differences were found regarding the rate of conversion to laparotomy, intra- or postoperative complications.Conclusion. Robotically assisted hysterectomy appears to reduce blood loss, postoperative pain, and length of hospital stay, but it is associated with longer operative time and higher cost. Specific indications for RH remain to be defined.

Abstract Background portal vein thrombosis (PVT) is a common complication of end-stage liver disease with an incidence of 0.6–16% in patients with well-compensated disease (1–3), increasing up to 35% in cirrhotic patients with hepatocellular carcinoma. Aim of the Work the aim of the study is to compare between thrombectomy of PVT using vascular clamps “eversion” & manual technique “modified eversion” during liver transplantation regarding operative time, degree of blood loss, portal vein rethrombosis, and post-operative complications. Patients and Methods This is a retrospective cohort study to compare between thrombectomy of PVT using vascular clamps “eversion” & manual technique “modified eversion” during liver transplantation regarding operative time, degree of blood loss, portal vein rethrombosis & post-operative complications. The study was conducted as retrospective study of 33 adult patients who underwent LDLT at Ain Shams Specialized Hospital, Ain Shams University, Cairo, Egypt, between January 2016 and July 2018. Results the mean child score was 9.55 and the median hospital stay was 12 days. Based on review manager statics program, the PVT recurrence was non-significant (P = 0.295, Test value: 1.096). However, the blood loss was significant (p &lt; 0.029, test value: -2.186) and the surgical time was significant (p = 0.013, test value: 2.633). Conclusion portal vein thrombosis (PVT) represents a significant technical challenge in liver transplantation and for many years was considered a relative contraindication. While advances in surgical techniques, axial imaging, and alternative inflow reconstruction options have made liver transplantation possible in transplant candidates with PVT.

We aimed to evaluate comparative outcomes of robotic and laparoscopic splenectomy in patients with non-traumatic splenic pathologies. A systematic search of electronic databases and bibliographic reference lists were conducted, and a combination of free text and controlled vocabulary search adapted to thesaurus headings, search operators and limits in electronic databases were applied. Intraoperative and post-operative complications, wound infection, haematoma, conversion to open procedure, return to theatre, volume of blood loss, procedure time and length of hospital stay were the evaluated outcome parameters. We identified 8 comparative studies reporting a total of 560 patients comparing outcomes of robotic ( n = 202) and laparoscopic ( n = 258) splenectomies. The robotic approach was associated with significantly lower volume of blood loss (MD: −82.53 mls, 95% CI −161.91 to −3.16, P = .04) than the laparoscopic approach. There was no significant difference in intraoperative complications (OR: 0.68, 95% CI .21-2.01, P = .51), post-operative complications (OR: .91, 95% CI .40-2.06, P = .82), wound infection (RD: -.01, 95% CI -.04-.03, P = .78), haematoma (OR: 0.40, 95% CI .04-4.03, P = .44), conversion to open (OR: 0.63; 95% CI, .24-1.70, P = .36), return to theatre (RD: −.04, 95% CI -.09-.02, P = .16), procedure time (MD: 3.63; 95% CI -16.99-24.25, P = .73) and length of hospital stay (MD: −.21; 95% CI -1.17 - .75, P = .67) between 2 groups. In conclusion, robotic and laparoscopic splenectomies seem to have comparable perioperative outcomes with similar rate of conversion to an open procedure, procedure time and length of hospital stay. The former may potentially reduce the volume of intraoperative blood loss. Future higher level research is required to evaluate the cost-effectiveness and clinical outcomes

Background: Laparoscopic reversal of Hartmann’s procedure has been increasingly practiced worldwide since the laparoscopic era. However, so far only a few studies have been published regarding the results of this procedure. Aim of this study was to compare laparoscopic reversal of Hartmann’s (LHR) versus open reversal of Hartmann’s (OHR) procedure regarding to operative time, postoperative pain, hospital stay, postoperative complications and cost.Methods: This study was conducted on 40 patients with Hartmann’s colostomy admitted to the general surgery department, Tanta university hospitals, during the period from February 2017 to August 2019.Results: Regarding operative time, it was with a mean value 274.75±80.65 min in the LHR group and 156.75±32.81 min in the OHR group. The difference in time to pass flatus was with a mean value 1.78±0.68 days in the LHR group and 2.49±0.78 days in the OHR group. The difference in the hospital stay was with mean value 6.1±2.47 days in the LHR group and 9.3±2.20 days in the OHR group. Regarding post-operative complications; 6 patients (30%) developed post-operative complications while in the OHR group 10 (50%).Conclusions: In this era of minimal-access surgery and with increasing attention to fast-track protocols, we believe the laparoscopic approach should be the standard technique for patients undergoing reversal of Hartmann’s procedure. However, laparoscopic reversal of Hartmann’s procedure needs a surgical learning curve.
