Total Laparoscopic Hysterectomy: A Five-Year Experience
Copyright policy )Total Laparoscopic Hysterectomy: A Five-Year Experience
To review the surgical outcomes of total laparoscopic hysterectomy (TLH) over a five-year period in a teaching community hospital.We reviewed demographic data, intraoperative and postoperative outcomes, and morbidity data on 175 women who underwent TLH between January 2001 and December 2005.No bowel or urinary tract injury occurred in any of the patients. The major and minor complication rates were 4% and 2.9% respectively. The mean operating time was 108.2 minutes, standard deviation (SD) 29.6 minutes, range 60-199 minutes, and the mean length of hospital stay was 1.2 days, SD 0.4 days. The mean uterine weight was 292.9 g, SD 206.3 g, with the largest specimen weighing 1126 g.The cases reported here had operating times and lengths of hospital stay that were similar to those in previously published reports. TLH is a safe and acceptable alternative to standard hysterectomy.
