ABSTRACT
Objective:The causes, management, and prevention of complications in laparoscopic gyneco-logic surgery were investigated. Methods:A retrospective analysis was done based on clinical data of 8279 cases of laparoscopic gynecologic surgery from January 1996 to December 2008 in this hospital. Results:The complication rate was 0.88% (73/8279). These included five cases intraperitoneal bleeding, five cases injury of ureter, 20 cases abdominal vessel damage, 10 cases vulva emphysema, 25 cases wound healing delay and each one case respectively for stomach injury, bladder injury, secondary abdominal cavity preg-nancy,infection and incision hernia. The occurrence rates of complications between hysteroscopy combined with laparoscopic surgery and pure adnexal surgery were no difference( P >0.05). Compared to adnexal op-erations, there was a significantly higher complication rate in myomectomy and laparoscopic assistant vaginal hysterectomy (P < 0.01 ). Conclusions:Complications of laparoscopic gynecologic surgery are correlated with the difficulty of operation and the skillfulness of operators. In order to reduce complications, careful oper-ation and avoiding over self -confidence are essential.
