“…Such women are at risk for cervical injuries caused by entering the uterus with big instruments such as Hegar dilator numbers 8 or 9 and the operative hysteroscope. The uterine perforation rate of 0.7% in the present study was similar to those reported by other investigators (13,14).…”

“…In all cases, bowel function returned to normal within 24 h. The postoperative hospital stay was 2.4 days (range [1][2][3][4][5][6] in minilaparotomy, shorter than in laparoscopy (2.9 days; range 1-6) (p > 0.05). The characteristics of the patients who underwent microlaparotomy or minilaparotomy were similar to those of the patients who underwent laparoscopy ( Table 3).…”

The aim of this study was to investigate whether modern minilaparotomy hysterectomy might be a reasonable alternative to laparoscopic-assisted vaginal hysterectomy (LAVH) in selected patients unable to undergo vaginal hysterectomy. Seventy-two patients suspected of having benign uterine disease with relative contraindications for vaginal surgery underwent hysterectomy by modern minilaparotomy or microlaparotomy. The operative time, hospital stay, estimated blood loss, and complications in these patients were compared with those in the 48 patients who underwent LAVH during the same period. If the vaginal route is not feasible, minilaparotomy may be a valid alternative to both standard and laparoscopic-assisted hysterectomy. (J GYNECOL SURG 15:193, 1999)

“…In our series of more than 100 single incision total laparoscopic hysterectomies, the reported case is the first one of postoperative hemorrhage, which is consistent with the rate reported by others for conventional multiaccess TLH (0.4% to 1.1%). 4,5 Because of our experience with single incision laparoscopic surgery, we were able to confidently address intraabdominal hemorrhage via this modality.…”
