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: 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.

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: 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.

Objective: To compare early versus delayed laparoscopic cholecystectomy in acute calculous cholecystitis in terms of mean operative time, hospital stay, conversion rate to open surgery and post-operative complications. Study Design: Quasi experimental study. Place and Duration of Study: Army Liver Transplant Unit, Department of Surgery, Pak-Emirates Military Hospital Rawalpindi, from Jul to Dec 2018. Methodology: A total of 170 patients (85 in each group) diagnosed as a case of acute calculous cholecystitis who met the sample selection criteria were included. Group A patients underwent early laparoscopic cholecystectomy within 72 hours of admission while group B patients underwent conservative management followed by delayed laparoscopic cholecystectomy after 6 weeks. All patients were followed for operative time, hospital stay, per-operative difficulties encountered and post-operative complications. Results: Group A had a mean operation time of 43.9 ± 11.1 minutes, while group B had a mean operation time of 45.8 ± 10.1 minutes (p=0.83). The mean duration of hospitalization was 2.8 ± 1.1 days in group A and 5.3 ± 0.8 days in group B (p<0.001). Complications were measured at a frequency of 14.1% in group A and 5.9% in group B (p=0.07). Conclusion: Early laparoscopic cholecystectomy is better than delayed laparoscopic cholecystectomy in acute calculous cholecystitis in terms of hospital stay and per-operative difficulties faced. The post-operative complications between the two groups are comparable.

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.

Abdominal hysterectomy, the procedure by which almost 90% of hysterectomies are currently being done. Laparoscopicassisted vaginal hysterectomy has been introduced as an alternative to abdominal hysterectomy, and is thought to allow a more rapid return tonormal activity. Laparoscopic assisted vaginal hysterectomy has less postoperative morbidity and quicker recovery than abdominalhysterectomy. Objective: To compare the laparoscopic assisted vaginal hysterectomy with total abdominal hysterectomy in term of operativetime, per operative blood loss and post-operative wound infection. Study Design: Randomized trial. Setting: This study was carried out in thedepartment of obstetrics and gynaecology, Shaikh Zayed Hospital, Lahore. Period: Six months (15th September, 2008 to 15th March 2009).Patients and methods: Eighty patients fulfilling the inclusion criteria were selected for this study. Patients were equally divided in two groups;group A (laparoscopic assisted vaginal hysterectomy) and group B (total abdominal hysterectomy). Operative time (in minutes), blood loss (inml) as estimated and post-operative wound infection was assessed by presence or absence of wound discharge, redness and edema aroundthe incision on 3rd, 5th and 7th post-operative day. Results: The mean ages of women in group A was 49.13+4.26 and 45.68+4.54 years ingroup B. The maximum number of parity between 3-4 was 19 in group A and 20 in group B. Mean weights of cases in group A was 65.60+10.45kilograms and 70.77+15.59 kilograms in groups B. The per-operative time in group A was 105.13+6.55 minutes and 83.38+14.82 minutes ingroup B. The mean blood loss in group A was 178.0+43.51 ml and 228.25+72.49 ml in group B. The wound discharge was not found in group A,while in group B, 4 cases (10%) on 3rd post-operative day, 6 cases (15%) on 5th post-operative day and 11 cases 27.5% on 7th post-operative.Conclusions: Laparoscopic assisted vaginal hysterectomy has a quicker post-operative recovery but at the expense of a bit long duration ofsurgery. Laparoscopic vaginal assisted hysterectomy is a feasible option in a selected group of patients who would otherwise require anabdominal hysterectomy. The drug requirement to control pain and level of pain experienced by patients were also significantly less.

Percutaneous nephrolithotomy (PCNL) is an effective treatment for large renal calculi and usually a nephrostomy tube is placed in the kidney at the end of procedure to avoid post operative complications. This is to compare the outcome of tubeless PCNL versus tubed PCNL. In a randomized prospective study of sixty-four consecutive patients were enrolled and divided into two groups; A being tubeless group and B being nephrostomy group with 32 patients in each arm divided by quota sampling restricted block method with allocation ratio of 1:1. The mean age in group A was 36.69 ± 13.65 years and in group B was 38.09 ± 13.18 years with no significant p value (p = 0.501). Duration of hospital stay in group A was 3.63 ± 1.04 days and in group B was 6.34 ± 1.71 days with a significant p value (p = 0.001). In group A 31 (96.9%) and in group B 24 (75%) cases were not transfused with blood while 1 (3.1%) and 8 (25%) cases were transfused with blood with a significant p value (p = 0.026). The post operative complications were comparable in between two groups. Therefore tubeless PCNL reduces the hospital stay and blood transfusion rate with no obvious post operative complications.

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.

Background: Pelvic organ prolapse is a common condition seen in women due to weakening of support of pelvic organs. Different surgical procedures have been adopted for suspension of vaginal vault during vaginal hysterectomy to restore vault to near normal anatomic position as preventive measures for vault prolapse. The aim of study was to compare the efficacy of the McCall’s culdoplasty and sacrospinous ligament colpopexy in stage 3 and 4 prolapse (POP-Q).Methods: This prospective study comprised 100 women presenting with stage 3 and 4 prolapse (POP-Q). They were divided into two equal groups of 50 each. The patients were randomized to undergo McCall’s culdoplasty (Group A) or sacrospinous ligament fixation (Group B) with vaginal hysterectomy based on note contained in an envelope comparative analysis was done, and patients were evaluated for intra-operative difficulties and immediate (48 hours) post-operative complications using SPSS-version 23 for statistical analysis. The patients were followed up at one month and one year to evaluate symptomatically and objectively.Results: In group A, patients with 3-degree prolapse 1 woman had hemorrhage and 1 woman had bladder injury intraoperatively. Whereas in group B, 5 women had hemorrhage and 1 woman had rectal injury intraoperatively. All complications were dealt successfully. No other major intra- and post-operative complications occurred.Conclusions: Vaginal hysterectomy with sacrospinous colpopexy resulted in better outcomes after surgery. Hence, it was concluded that unilateral or bilateral SSLF may be added to vaginal hysterectomy in patients of stage 3 or 4 prolapse.

Introduction: The aim of this study was to compare laparoscopic and open partial nephrectomy (PN) for renal tumors of high surgical complexity (PADUA score ⩾10). Methods: We retrospectively evaluated 93 consecutive patients who underwent PN at our department from January 2015 to September 2019. 21 patients underwent open partial nephrectomy (OPN) (Group A) and 72 underwent laparoscopic partial nephrectomy (LPN) (Group B). All OPNs were performed with a retroperitoneal approach, while all LPNs were performed with a transperitoneal approach by a single surgical team. Post-operative complications were classified according to the Clavien-Dindo system. Results: The two groups showed no difference in terms of patients’ demographics as well as tumor characteristics in all variables. Group A was found to be similar to group B in terms of operation time ( p = 0.781), conversion to radical nephrectomy ( p = 0.3485), and positive surgical margins ( p = 0.338) while estimated blood loss ( p = 0.0205), intra-operative ( p = 0.0104), and post-operative ( p = 0.0081) transfusion rates, drainage time ( p = 0.0012), pain score at post-operative day 1 (<0.0001) were significantly lower in Group B. The rate of enucleation and enucleoresection/polar resection was similar ( p = 0.1821) among the groups. Logistic regression analysis indicated that preoperative factors were not independently associated with the surgical approach. There was a statistically significant difference in complication rate (<0.0001) between the two groups even if no significant difference in terms of grade ⩾3 post-operative complications ( p = 0.3382) was detected. Discussion: LPN represents a feasible and safe approach for high complex renal tumors if performed in highly experienced laparoscopic centers. This procedure offers good intraoperative outcomes and a low rate of post-operative complications.
