Vaginal cuff dehiscence is a rare, but potentially serious complication after total hysterectomy. We report a case of vaginal cuff dehiscence after vaginal cuff brachytherapy. A 62 year old female underwent a robotic-assisted laparoscopic hysterectomy with bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy, and was found to have International Federation of Gynecology and Obstetrics (FIGO) 2009 stage IB endometrio...

INTRODUCTION The use of robotics for benign etiology in gynecology has not proven to be more beneficial when compared to traditional laparoscopy. The major concern regarding robotic hysterectomy stems from its high cost. AIM To evaluate the clinical utility and effectiveness of one-arm reduced robotic-assisted laparoscopic hysterectomy as a cost-effective surgical option for total robotic hys...

Background: Fallopian tube prolapse is an infrequent complication of hysterectomy. Surgical management has been described by vaginal, abdominal, and combined approaches. More recently, laparoscopic management has been advocated generally in combination with vaginal surgery or in cases in which an initial vaginal operation was unsuccessful. Case: We report our totally laparoscopic technique for ...

in the late 1980's, the endoscopic revolution was launched and the world of surgery changed forever. Over the years, minimally invasive surgery, namely operative laparoscopy, has emerged as the standard treatment for many gynecologic benign and malignant etiologies. Laparoscopic surgery has answered the patient's right to better cosmesis, less blood loss, faster recovery, shorter hospital stay,...

BACKGROUND: Fallopian tube prolapse as a complication of abdominal hysterectomy is a rare occurrence. A case with fallopian tube prolapse was managed by a combined vaginal and laparoscopic approach and description of the operative technique is presented. CASE PRESENTATION: A 39-year-old woman with vaginal prolapse of the fallopian tube after total abdominal hysterectomy presented with an incorr...

DESIGN Modified Delphi study. SETTING Expert physicians recruited by their respective medical boards and employed at different hospitals, doctor's surgeries and healthcare services. POPULATION Twe...

OBJECTIVE To assess the cost effectiveness of laparoscopic hysterectomy compared with conventional hysterectomy (abdominal or vaginal). DESIGN Cost effectiveness analysis based on two parallel trials: laparoscopic (n = 324) compared with vaginal hysterectomy (n = 163); and laparoscopic (n = 573) compared with abdominal hysterectomy (n = 286). PARTICIPANTS 1346 women requiring a hysterectomy...

Object To determine the safety of laparoscopicassisted vaginal (LAVH) in a district general hospital. Design Retrospective analysis. Setting District general hospital in the UK. Subjects A total of 119 LAVH patients, who were unsuitable for vaginal hysterectomy according to conventional British criteria. Result The mean operating time taken was 91 min. Mean duration of stay was 2.2 days. The ov...
