Comparative Study of Laparoscopic Assisted Vaginal Hysterectomy and Minilap Hysterectomy for Benign Gynaecological Conditions
In Brief
An observational study for Hysterectomy and 2 related conditions. Completed, enrolled 52 participants.
Detailed Summary
Minilaparotomy hysterectomy (MLH) relies on the simplicity of traditional open technique of abdominal hysterectomy, imparts cosmesis and faster recovery of laparoscopic hysterectomy yet avoids the long learning curve, cost of expensive setup and instrumentation associated with the minimally invasive approaches namely laparoscopy and robotics. In the present study, we tried to ascertain if the results obtained with MLH can be compared to LAVH in terms of its feasibility, intraoperative variables, and complications. The null hypothesis was that both MLH and LAVH are comparable techniques, so where cost and surgeon's experience are the confining issues, patients can be reassured that MLH gives comparable results.
