Our hospital was established 6 years ago as an institution that specializes in the laparoscopic surgery. A recent increase has been observed in the number of women who develop multiple and giant uterine myomas, indicating the need to react according to each case. In this report we present a method of laparoscopically assisted hysterectomy that we introduced as a countermeasure against multiple and giant uterine myomas. We review and compare the 312 cases of laparoscopic hysterectomy that we have performed and discuss on the selection of operation method based on the review. Further experience and technical improvements in laparoscopic hysterectomy based on each case will lead to improved safety and proper indications.
This newly developed heated humidifier offers the great advantages of maintaining intraabdominal temperature and humidity in comparison to conventional insufflators for laparoscopic surgery.
