Abstract Hysterectomy is the second most common major surgical procedure performed on women after caesarean section. There are various possible approaches to hysterectomy for benign disease of uterus—abdominal hysterectomy (AH), vaginal hysterectomy (VH) and laparoscopic hysterectomy (LH). Laparoscopic approach may be used either to facilitate the ease of vaginal delivery of uterus as in laparoscopy assisted vaginal hysterectomy (LAVH) or it may be carried out completely till final detachment of uterus from pelvic wall i.e., total laparoscopic hysterectomy (TLH). So, the aim of the present study was to compare the operative parameters including operative time, blood loss and postoperative complications and recovery in patients who underwent laparoscopic assisted vaginal hysterectomy using vessel sealing technology versus abdominal hysterectomy. To achieve this target, the present study included 60 consecutive patients indicated for hysterectomy. |
