Transumbilical Versus Transvaginal Specimen Retrieval at Minilaparoscopy

February 23, 2012 updated by: Fabio Ghezzi, Università degli Studi dell'Insubria
We hypothesise that pain at minilaparoscopy for gynecologic disease is reduced when transvaginal rather than transumbilical specimen extraction is accomplished. This would be due to the avoidance of a 10-mm port in the umbilicus. Visual analogue scale score of post-operative pain will be obtained and patients satisfaction will be asked at the 2-month postoperative visit.
