چکیده
nancy and can be performed safely by those with sufficient skills and practice in the conduct of such procedures. A point that I hoped to make in my paper, and would like to reiterate here, was that my patients were selected for operation because they had severe symptoms or conditions that could have adversely affected the outcome of their pregnancies or placed the patients or their fetuses, or both, at risk for severe morbidity or even mortality without operation. I am still of the opinion that if symptoms are minimal, in nonappendicitis cases, it would be prudent to delay operation until the pregnancy has run its course, if such delay would not place the patient or fetus at risk. In gallbladder disease, the patient and her referring caregiver must be made aware of what signs and symptoms would alter the plan into a more rapid surgical intervention. One gallbladder attack or an episode of gallstone pancreatitis should prompt one into action, as these conditions can be highly unpredictable.

Laparoscopic Supracervical Hysterectomy for Benign Gynecologic Conditions
Recent results from metaanalyses and observational studies have suggested that total abdominal hysterectomy (TAH) is superior to laparoscopic supracervical hysterectomy (LSH) for the treatment of benign gynecologic conditions. However, because LSH is associated with fewer intraoperative complications, shorter operative time, and preserves patient anatomy and sexual function in comparison with T...

OBJECTIVES Our aim was to evaluate a new electrosurgical instrument (Lap Loop device) that amputates the uterine corpus from the cervix during a laparoscopic supracervical hysterectomy (LSH) and to compare the time required for cervical amputation with traditional methods. METHODS This comparative trial was conducted at the University of Louisville and Norton Healthcare Hospitals, Louisville,...
متن کاملAssessing the Learning Curve for Laparoscopic Supracervical Hysterectomy
OBJECTIVE We assessed the learning curve for laparoscopic supracervical hysterectomy. METHODS This was a prospective cohort study. We analyzed the first 60 consecutive laparoscopic supracervical hysterectomy procedures performed by a team of 2 gynecological laparoscopic surgeons between May 2001 and July 2006 to examine whether a learning curve exists as defined by a decrease in operating tim...
متن کاملMinimally Invasive Specialists and Rates of Laparoscopic Hysterectomy
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE Despite the prevalence of hysterectomy for treatment of benign gynecologic conditions, providers nationwide have been slow to adopt minimally-invasive surgical techniques. Our objective is to investigate the impact of a department for minimally invasive gynecologic surgery (MIGS) on the rate of laparoscopic hysterectomy at an academic community hospital without robotic ...
