Comparison of total laparoscopic hysterectomy and total abdominal hysterectomy cases
Abstract
Aim: Our aim is to retrospectively compare the results of total laparoscopic hysterectomy and total abdominal hysterectomy operations performed in benign indications in light of the literature.
Materials and Methods: The records of 240 patients who underwent total hysterectomy for benign indications between July 2015 and October 2020 in the Gynecology and Obstetrics Clinic of Antalya Serik State Hospital were reviewed retrospectively .The age range was 40-75 years and 120 were classified as total laparoscopic hysterectomy (TLH group1) and 120 were classified as total abdominal hysterectomy (TAH Group2). Those with malignancy, post-cesarean hysterectomies, supracervical hysterectomy, laparoscopic
assisted vaginal hysterectomy, and vaginal hysterectomy, those with missing records were excluded
from the study. The mean age, parity, body mass index, mean weight of the removed uterus, history of
previous abdominal surgery, hysterectomy indications, operation time, complication rates, amount of
blood loss, and postoperative hospital stay of the patients were compared between the two groups.
Results: There was no statistical difference between the groups regarding demographic
characteristics. The most common indications in both groups were fibromyoma, treatment resistant
abnormal uterine bleeding. In group 1, the mean operation time was longer but the mean hospital stay
was shorter than group 2, and both were statistically significant. The postoperative mean uterine
weight was heavier in group 2 than in group 1.
Conclusion: Laparoscopic hysterectomy is a safe and convenient minimally invasive surgical
procedure for selected patients, with a longer operation time and requiring experience. It has the
advantage of faster recovery, earlier discharge, and less blood loss.
