Description
Summary:Selection of an appropriate surgical method for hysterectomy in an individual patient is currently an issue that remains open and debatable. This study aimed to analyze perioperative outcomes in gynecologic patients who underwent laparoscopic hysterectomy at a single institution during a 6-year period and to compare the data for simple hysterectomy patients treated with different surgical approaches. The study included a retrospective analysis of demographics, pre- and post-operative characteristics of 1,023 patients, operated on using four types of simple hysterectomy approaches: 635 laparoscopic hysterectomies (62.1%), 289 total abdominal hysterectomies (28.3%), 45 total vaginal hysterectomies (4.4%) and 54 robotic-assisted hysterectomies (5.3%). For the laparoscopic hysterectomy group, the mean operative time was shorter as compared to the abdominal and vaginal hysterectomy groups (p
