Vaginal Cuff Dehiscence after Minimal Invasive Hysterectomy: Laparoscopic Surgical Techniques

Vaginal cuff dehiscence (VCD) after hysterectomy is an adverse event with potential severe morbidity. Although the data are limited, minimally invasive approaches to hysterectomy, such as total laparoscopic hysterectomy (TLH), may be associated with a higher risk of vaginal cuff dehiscence. The cause for these dehiscences is unknown, and multiple factors may be involved. Internationally, the et...

Laparoscopically Assisted Vaginal Hysterectomy Versus Vaginal Hysterectomy for Enlarged Uterus

OBJECTIVES To compare the surgical and immediate postoperative outcomes for vaginal hysterectomy (VH) with those for laparoscopically assisted vaginal hysterectomy (LAVH) in patients with enlarged myomatous uterus. METHODS Eighty women requiring hysterectomy for an enlarged myomatous uterus were randomly allocated into 2 treatment arms: VH (n=40) and LAVH (n=40). The randomization procedure w...

Comparison of laparoscopically assisted vaginal hysterectomy and total abdominal hysterectomy
