Abstract
Aim: To study the efficacy and safety of bipolar coagulation in total laparoscopic hysterectomy. Methods: A single surgeon, single center, retrospective study of one year was conducted in Akola Endoscopy center from 1 May 2010 to 30th April,2011. 200 patients who underwent total laparoscopic hysterectomy for benign conditions were enrolled. Data about the surgical time, estimated blood loss, related complications and length of hospital stay were evaluated. Results: The patients who underwent TLH with bipolar coagulation in the present study, it was found that the mean operating time was 52.83+-12.28 min, mean blood loss was 40.50+-28.02 ml, post-operatively febrile morbidity was found to be in 1.5% of patients and secondary hemorrhage in 2.5% with average hospital stay around 9-10 hours. No patient required blood transfusion or re-laparotomy. There were no intra-operative or anesthetic complications and no case of hernia or mortality. Conclusion: bipolar coagulation for hemostasis used in laparoscopic hysterectomy is safe and effective.
