OBJECTIVES We conducted retrospective and prospective clinical studies at the Columbus Hospital of Rome to point out changes in choosing the route for performing hysterectomy; to evaluate the feasibility of vaginal hysterectomy (VH) and oophorectomy, even in commonly considered contraindications to the vaginal route; to describe a method of laparoscopic oophorectomy following vaginal hysterecto...

Laparoscopically-assisted vaginal hysterectomy (LAVH) was performed in fifteen patients without invasive cancer. Indications for hysterectomy were myomas, abnormal uterine bleeding unresponsive to hormonal treatment and dilatation and curettage, chronic pelvic pain with first degree uterine prolapse and possible adenomyosis, and dysplasia and ovarian cyst in postmenopausal years. No signif...

Between 1993 and 1994, 368 women underwent hysterectomies for benign disorders at the University of Kiel.

Of the remaining, 14.8% were performed by abdominal hysterectomy, 13.6% by Intrafascial Vaginal Hysterectomy (IVH), 12.2% by Vaginal Hysterectomy (VH), and only 0.05...

High dosages of intra-operative remifentanil are associated with opioid-induced hyperalgesia (OIH).

Patients with an American Society of Anesthesiologists physical status of I-II who were diagnosed with hysteromyoma and scheduled for lapa...

To describe changes in same day discharges (SDDs) following minimally invasive hysterectomy (MIH) a large diverse practice population and to assess if utilization of SDD are associated with postoperative complications or unplanned readmission.
