Abstract Background The aim of this study was to compare the outcomes of modified Bakay technique (MT) to standard colpotomy (ST) and cuff closure in total laparoscopic hysterectomy (TLH). Methods This two-centre, randomized-controlled study included a total of 160 patients who were scheduled for TLH for benign diseases (ClinicalTrials.gov Identifier is NCT05080114 and the first posted date was 15/10/2021). The patients were allocated into two groups by a computer-based randomization programme as ST group and MT group. Total operative time, cuff closure time, length of hospital stay, intra- and postoperative complications according to the Clavien-Dindo classification, pre- and postoperative vaginal length, and patient satisfaction according to the Patient Global Impression of Improvement (PGI-I) questionnaire were assessed. Results Seventy-seven patients in the ST group and 80 patients in the MT group underwent TLH. The total operative time was significantly shorter in the MT compared to the ST (55.5 vs. 59 min, respectively; p = 0.001). The median total operative time for colpotomy, extraction of uterus, and vaginal cuff closure steps was 9 (range 6–12 in MT vs. 6 to 11 in ST) min in both groups. The median hospital stay was 2 (range 1–4) days in both groups. Intraoperative blood loss was not significantly different between the groups (90 mL in ST vs. 80 mL in MT; p = 0.456). The mean uterine weight for the ST group and MT group was comparable (258.6 ± 88.6 g vs. 232.9 ± 102.5 g, respectively; p = 0.107). The preoperative vaginal length was not significantly different between the groups (p = 0.502). The median postoperative vaginal length was significantly higher in the MT group compared to the ST group on Day 90 (8 cm vs. 7,5 cm, respectively; p = 0.001). The PGI-I questionnaire score on Day 90 postoperatively was 2 (range 1–5) in both groups (p = 0.636). The complication rates were similar between the groups (p = 0.230). Conclusion The MT can be safely performed in most of the cases requiring TLH with the advantages of vaginal cuff closure before the alteration of pelvic anatomy, support to primary healing of the vaginal cuff, and routine concomitant apical support.

Background. Over time, there was an emerging need to shift from laparotomy to minimally invasive laparoscopic surgery, with the success of laparoscopic surgery in the last decade in gyne-oncology. Patients and Methods. This is a prospective randomized controlled trial conducted in Surgical Oncology Unit, Oncology Centre, Mansoura University, in the period between February 2016 and October 2019. Fifty female patients planned for total hysterectomy were randomized into two equal groups; the first underwent conventional laparoscopic hysterectomy (CLH), while the second underwent single-incision laparoscopic hysterectomy (SILH). Results. The mean operative time in the SILH group was 120.00 ± 28.72 minutes vs 103.20 ± 23.04 minutes in the CLH group ( P= .027). Median hospital stay in the SILH group was 1 day (range: 1–3 days), the same as that in the CLH group, with no statistical significance ( P= .384). Postoperative pain assessment using the Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) after 6 hours had a median score of 6 (2–8) in the SILH group and 6 (4–7) in the CLH group with significant increase in experienced pain in the SILH group ( P= .004), while no significant difference was noted after 12 hours and 24 hours in both SILH and CLH groups. Conclusion. Single-incision laparoscopic hysterectomy (SILH) has similar outcomes when compared to conventional laparoscopic hysterectomy as regard blood loss, hospital stay, conversion to laparotomy, intraoperative and postoperative complications with the disadvantages of longer operative time, increased surgeon’s workload, and relatively more postoperative pain.

Background: Hysterectomy is the second most common operation performed by the gynecologists, next only to caesarean section. Objective of the study was to compare fall in blood haemoglobin level, duration of operation, intra- and post-op complications between non-descent vaginal hysterectomy and total laparoscopic hysterectomy and establish the better method for hysterectomy in non-descent uterus.Methods: A retrospective comparative study of 90 hysterectomies was done from a period of May 2018 - April 2019 at GMERS Medical College and Hospital Sola, with 45 cases in group of non-descent vaginal hysterectomy (NDVH) and 45 in group of total laparoscopic hysterectomy (TLH). Demographic characteristics, co-morbid conditions, indications for surgery, operative time, intra- operative blood loss, post-operative analgesia requirements, post-operative hospital stay and post-operative complications were compared between both groups. Those patients having malignancy as diagnosed by Pap smear or by D and C were excluded from the studyResults: The most common age in both groups was 41-50 years. Adenomyotic uterus was the most common indication for surgery in both groups. The mean operative time in NDVH group was 45 min while it was 80 min in TLH group. p<0.001 suggested significant difference when operative time were compared between both groups. Both groups were similar in post-operative analgesia requirement and post-operative hospital stay. Post-operative complications were similar in both groups.Conclusions: In which way to approach the uterus shall depend upon skill of the surgeon, size and pathological nature of uterus, technology available in the hospital and preference of patient as well as surgeon.
