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.

Background: Since the introduction of Laparoscopic hysterectomy by Reich in 1989, it has become a widely accepted technique worldwide. The aim of the study was to compare the surgical results between Total Laparoscopic Hysterectomy (TLH) and Total Abdominal Hysterectomy (TAH).Methods: We conducted a retrospective study at Women’s center and hospitals between June 2014 to May 2016, 32 patients who underwent TAH and 55 patients who underwent TLH, were included.Results: We observed that there was no significant difference between the two groups in respect to patient's demographic characteristics, indication of surgery, uterine size, or with history of previous pelvic surgery. Duration of surgery was found to be longer in TLH than TAH (124±39.7 min vs. 104.7±39.8 min). The length of hospital stay was less in TLH than TLH (P-0.0001) and the amount of blood loss were also less in TLH than TAH (103±149 ml versus 243±210 ml). There was no significant difference in view of intra and post operative complications. Hemoglobin change was statistically significant and is more with TAH than TLH (1.57±0.7g% versus 1.12±0.7g%).Conclusions: This study showed that TLH can be safely performed by the experienced surgeon in order to reduce the blood loss, duration of hospital stay and the quality of life.

Obesity is common in endometrial cancer and surgery for these patients is challenging. We compared total laparoscopic hysterectomy (TLH) with total abdominal hysterectomy (TAH) with respect to feasibility (operating time, estimated blood loss, length of hospital stay, and conversion to laparotomy) and safety (perioperative morbidity and mortality) in a retrospective analysis of 78 morbidly obese patients with endometrial cancer. Analysis is based on the intention to treat. The intention to treat was TLH in 47 patients and it could be successfully completed in 42 patients (89.4%). The mean weight for all patients was 118.7 kg, with patients in the TLH group weighing more and having higher ASA scores. Mean operating time and estimated blood loss were similar in both groups. Mean postoperative hospital stay was 4.4 (±3.9) days in the TLH group and 7.9 (±3.0) days in the TAH group (P < 0.0001). Wound infections occurred in 15 of 31 patients (48.4%) in the TAH group and in 1 of 47 patients (2.1%) in the TLH group. All other morbidity, as well as patterns of recurrence and survival were similar in both groups. These data justify a prospective randomized trial comparing TLH with TAH for the treatment of endometrial cancer

Background: Hysterectomy is one of the most commonly performed procedures in gynaecological surgery. The most common indication is benign uterine disease. As the time is passing trend is towards those approaches which are minimally invasive, less painful, have less complications, less blood loss and are more cosmetic. Thus, total laparoscopic hysterectomy has gained popularity. The purpose of this study was to compare the 2 different routes of hysterectomy.Methods: In this prospective randomized observational study patients undergoing both the types of hysterectomy, that is, TAH (total abdominal hysterectomy) and TLH (total laparoscopic hysterectomy) during 2 year period at Rajkiya Pannadhay Mahila Chikitsalaya RNT medical college Udaipur were included in the study. 50 women (25 in each group) aged between 31-72 years were included into the study.Results: We observed that duration of surgery was found to be longer in TLH than TAH (112.56±19.45 min versus 57.9±19.26 min, P<0.001 (HS)). The length of hospital stay was less in TLH than TLH (p=0.0001) and the amount of intra-operative blood loss were also less in TLH than TAH (163.60±44.15 versus 313.20±123.48 ml, p<0.001). TLH group had early ambulation compared to TAH group (2.24±0.44 day versus 3.12 ±0.33 day, p<0.001), difference on the basis of length of hospital stay was highly significant which was shorter in TLH than TAH (4.40±1.15 versus 10.32±8.19 days, respectively; p<0.001). In current study patient satisfaction level was found highly significant between TLH and TAH (100% versus 56%, p<0.001).Conclusions: TLH is a safe and effective method of doing hysterectomy. The present study concluded that TLH is associated with less hospital stay, less blood loss, less use of analgesics, early ambulation, early start of oral feed, and better patient satisfaction.

Background: Abdominal hysterectomy is the most frequented way of hysterectomy in the world; today we have a lot of techniques for hysterectomy. Total Laparoscopic Hysterectomy (TLH) versus Total Abdominal Hysterectomy (TAH) needs experience an assessment of the learning curve. Objective of the study was to determine the feasibility and safety of TLH and TAH.Methods: Total 100 women were taken for study. Operating time, estimated blood loss, operating complication and length of stay in hospital were noted for each patient. The success rates of TLH were more compared to TAH. The operating time estimated blood loss, conversion to laparotomy was directly proportional to size of uterus.Results: There were no statistically significant differences between the two groups regarding age, body mass index (BMI), specimen weight, pre-operative hemoglobin (Hb) value and rates of the complications. The mean post-operative Hb value was significantly higher in group TLH than group TAH (11.3±0.7 gr/dl versus 10.6±1.6, p = 0.03). The mean time of operation was significantly longer in TLH than group TAH (105.4±22.9 minutes versus 74±18, p<0.001). The mean duration of hospital stay was statistically shorter in TLH compared to the TAH (2.47±0.5 days versus 4.86±1.1, p<0.001).Conclusions: Advantage of TLH over TAH are less blood loss, fewer wound infection and fever, smaller incisions, with less pain, shorter hospitalization time, speedier recovery.

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: the aim of this study was to compare the operative, post-operative, and the oncological short-term outcomes of laparoscopic hysterectomy with lymphadenectomy and open abdominal hysterectomy with lymphadenectomy for early-stage endometrial cancer.Methods: 80 patients with clinical stage I endometrial cancer were enrolled in this trial; they were divided according to their selection of the method of intervention after counselling into two groups: total laparoscopic hysterectomy with pelvic lymphadenectomy group and total abdominal hysterectomy with pelvic lymphadenectomy group.Results: The mean operative time in the TLH group was 140.85± 10.033 minutes and was 118.45±12.713 minutes in the TAH group (p<0.001). The mean blood loss in the TLH group was 127.5±42.9 ml and 220.5± 84.82 ml in TAH group (p<0.001). The mean duration of postoperative ileus was 12.8±5.022 hours in the TLH group, and it was 22.3±5.573 hours in the TAH group (p<0.001). The mean time of hospital stay in the TLH group was 26.7±5.667 hours and in the TAH group was 116.4± 17.31 hours (p<0.001).Conclusions: Complete surgical staging of endometrial cancer can be performed using laparoscopy as an alternative to routine open method with similar efficacy about nodal retrieval and complication rate, and better operative and postoperative compliance in means of blood loss, ileus and hospital stay which may have an implication on cost saving in the medical service. Lymphadenectomy can be omitted in low-risk cases of endometrial cancer.

This prospective interventional to assess feasibility of total laparoscopic hysterectomy (LH) for uteri weighing 280 gm or more. The study included 120 patients divided to 60 patient conducted total laparoscopic hysterectomies and 60 patients conduct total abdominal hysterectomy as standard method. Full history taking, gynecologic examination and ultrasound examination were done to all patients. The following data were collected from every patient in all groups: Age, BMI, uterine weight, Operative time, Estimated intraoperative blood loss, Preoperative hemoglobin and postoperative hemoglobin deficit 12 hours after surgery, intraoperative and Post-operative complications, Time to resumption of bowel movements to normal, Length of hospital stay. The most common indication among our patients was fibroid uterus while adenomyosis came second. All operations were performed by the same surgeons and using the same technique. We observe BMI is not considering as obstacle in laparoscopic group with advancement of anesthesia and sealing system. The mean operating time was slightly but not significally lower in laparoscopic hysterectomy with highly significant difference in the estimated blood loss in favor of laparoscopic group. The total incidence of intra-operative and postoperative complication of patient submitted to laparoscopic hysterectomy lower than conventional hysterectomy group but not statically significantly. There was significant difference in pain scoring, earlier bowel movement and hospital stay in the arm of laparoscopic group.
