Abstract:
Objective To investigate the operative skills of laparoscopic hysterectomy of large uterus.Methods A retrospective analysis was conducted on clinical data from 86 cases whose uterus were bigger than twelve gestational age uterus and therefore treated with laparoscopic hysterectomy from February 1998 to December 2005.Among the 86 cases,12 received total laparoscopic hysterectomy(TLH),59 received laparoscopic supracervical hysterectomy(LSH),and 15 received laparoscopic-assisted vaginal hysterectomy(LAVH).The location of laparoscopy was determined to be at least 3-5 cm above the fundus of uterus.The most crucial step was the treatment of adnexa and uterine blood vessels.After blocking the uterine blood vessels,most of uterine bodies were rotarily cut in TLH and LAVH.Results All operations(86 cases)were performed successfully under laparoscopy and no severe operative complications were noticed except for 1 case of subcutaneous emphysema.The average operation time and the intra-operative blood loss were(92.3 ?33.5)min and(113 ?31)ml respectively.The average postoperative hospital stay was(4.1?0.3)days.No postoperative complication was found in all cases during the 6-month follow-up.Conclusions Laparoscopic hysterectomy of large uterus is safe and feasible,and does not increase operative risk and incidence of complications,when suitable laparoscopic location is selected and treatments of adnexa and uterine vessel are well performed.
