The use of electronic power morcellators in gynecological laparoscopy has been long established. New trends in treatment approaches for intramural and subserosal uterine myomas, and most importantly the introduction of laparoscopic supracervical hysterectomy, required development of new advanced systems, which further simplified the application of safe and efficient morcellators [1, 2]. In the ...

OBJECTIVES To compare the incidence of perioperative complications and postoperative healthcare utilization and costs in laparoscopic supracervical hysterectomy (LSH) versus laparoscopic-assisted vaginal hysterectomy (LAVH) patients. METHODS Women 18 years with LSH or LAVH were extracted using a large national commercial claims database from 1/1/2007 through 9/30/2008. Outcome was perioperati...

OBJECTIVE To present a case of successful robotic assisted laparoscopic trachelectomy. DESIGN Case report. SETTING Tertiary care facility. PATIENT(S) A 40-year-old female with history of severe endometriosis and adhesions presented with persistent pain and bleeding after abdominal supracervical hysterectomy after failed attempt for laparoscopic-assisted vaginal hysterectomy and total abdo...

OBJECTIVE To compare operative and early postoperative outcomes of laparoscopic-assisted vaginal hysterectomy (LAVH) and laparoscopy assisted supracervical hysterectomy (LASH) with conventional hysterectomy by laparotomy or vaginally, including patients undergoing total or subtotal hysterectomy for benign gynecologic disease. METHODS Three different methods of hysterectomies: laparoscopic, va...

AIM To evaluate the feasibility, safety and peri- and postoperative outcomes of robotic single-site supracervical hysterectomy (RSSSH) for benign gynecologic disease. METHODS We report 3 patients who received RSSSH for adenomyosis of the uterus from November 2015 to April 2016. We evaluated the feasibility, safety and outcomes among these patients. RESULTS The mean surgical time was 244 min...
