Abstract:
Objective To explore the clinical value of the Luo’s fornix cup in laparoscopic total hysterectomy. Methods A total of 7 patients with indications for hysterectomy from October 2004 to February 2005 was given laparoscopic total hysterectomy. During the operation, the Luo’s fornix cup was used for the orientation and dilatation of the vaginal fornix. Then the anterior vaginal fornix was circlewise incised by using a harmonic hook to extract the Luo’s fornix cup. Afterwards the posterior fornix was opened to remove the uterus by way of the vagina. And finally the vaginal stump was closed. Results All the operations were successfully completed. The operation time was 90~250 min. With the use of the Luo’s fornix cup, the operator could easily identify the top of the vaginal fornix, and avoid the damage of important neighbouring organs. No injuries of bladder, ureter, and rectum were noted. Conclusions The Luo’s fornix cup is a rational accessory instrument in laparoscopic hysterectomy, being worthy of recommendation.
