ABSTRACT

Objective To evaluate the clinical efficacy of four different methods of laparoscopic hysterectomy laparoscopic supracervical hysterectomy(LSH),classic intrafascial supracervical hysterectomy(CISH),laparoscopic-assisted vaginal hysterectomy(LAVH),and total laparoscopic hysterectomy(TLH). Methods A retrospective analysis was carried out on 740 cases of laparoscopic hysterectomy in this hospital from January 1999 to December 2004 in respect of operating time,intraoperative blood loss,weight of removed uterus,postoperative recovery,time to normal sexual life,sexual satisfaction,and incidence of complications. Results The operations were accomplished under laparoscope in all the 740 cases.The operating time of LSH,CISH,TLH,and LAVH were 95.3?32.4 min,84.5?31.7 min,105.3?34.5 min,and 169.4?37.4 min,respectively.The time to normal sexual life of LSH,CISH,TLH,and LAVH were 30?5 d,50?9 d,35?7 d,and 54?11 d,respectively.The incidences of complications of LSH,CISH,TLH,and LAVH were 1.7%(2/120),1.3%(4/310),2.8%(7/250),and 1.7%(1/60),respectively. Conclusions Laparoscopic hysterectomy is safe and reliable.Of four methods of laparoscopic hysterectomy,each has its advantages and disadvantages,and method selection should be based on patient's own conditions.
