Total Laparoscopic Hysterectomy vs Minilap Hysterectomy

September 27, 2019 updated by: Tarek Shokeir, Mansoura University

A Prospective Randomized Study Comparing Total Laparoscopic Hysterectomy (Lap Hysterectomy) vs Minilaparotomy (Mini-lap Hysterectomy) for Benign Uterine Lesions: Peri-operative Outcome

The objective of this study is to compare the perioperative outcomes between mini-lap hysterectomy and total laparoscopic hysterectomy (TLH) because of benign indications.

Detailed Description

A prospective randomized open-label study was conducted. Women >18 years of age undergoing TLH because of benign indications were recruited. Patients were randomized for either TLH (Group I, 40 cases) or minilap hysterectomy (Group II, 40 cases) through 4-5cm abdominal Pfannenstiel incision.

Inclusion criteria were mobile uterus with benign lesion and with a size up to 12 weeks gestation. Exclusion criteria adopted were patients with enlarged uterus < 12 weeks, suspected malignancy and large adnexal masses (>5cm). Peri-operative outcomes were compared.

Written informed consent was obtained from all the patients and the Departmental Ethical Committee approved the study. Patients from OB/GYN Mansoura University Hospital were enrolled. All the operations were performed by at least one of the consultants included as authors in this study.
