Total laparoscopic versus hysterectomy
Journal Title: International Archives of Integrated Medicine - Year 2018, Vol 5, Issue 1
Abstract
Background: Total laparoscopic hysterectomy (TLH) is now emerging as a safe procedure even in patients suitable for vaginal hysterectomy (VH) due to its advantages like better visualisation, less post-operative pain and shorter hospital stay. This study was conducted to compare between laparoscopic hysterectomy and vaginal hysterectomy in females with benign disorders. Materials and methods: This was retrospective study conducted in Department of Obstetrics and Gynaecology, Laxmi Narasimha Hospital, Warangal. The patients who were indicated for vaginal hysterectomy or total laparoscopic hysterectomy were included. This study was conducted during the period of July 2015 to October 2016. Forty eight patients were included in the TLH group who underwent total laparoscopic hysterectomy and forty three patients were included in the VH group who underwent vaginal hysterectomy. Results: Operation time was higher in TLH group which was 112.56 hours when compared to VH group which was 101.42 hours (p<0.001). Hospital stay was more in VH group which was 5.77 days when compared to TLH group which was 4.05 days (p<0.001). Analgesia dosage was higher in VH group which was 1.64 when compared to that in TLH group which was 1.28 (p<0.001). The rate of complications in both the groups was found to be non-significant statistically. One woman who was undergoing VH had bladder injury which was recognised intraoperatively and treated and another one had vault hematoma in post-operative period which was also managed. In one case of VH, conversion to laparotomy was done due to difficulty but all cases were posted for TLH. Conclusion: Compared to Vaginal hysterectomy, total laparoscopic hysterectomy was more advantageous as it showed lesser hospital stay and lesser analgesia dose.
