Hysterectomy for patients without previous vaginal delivery: results and modalities of laparoscopic surgery

Abstract

The great majority of hysterectomies in nulliparous patients have been carried out via laparotomy. The purpose of this study was to establish whether laparoscopic surgery can be of use in an attempt to reduce the number of laparotomies when hysterectomy is indicated in patients without previous vaginal delivery. A retrospective study was carried out on 66 women who had not had a previous vaginal delivery who underwent hysterectomy from January 1993 to May 1995. Laparotomy was required for only 19.7% of cases (13 patients). For the 53 patients (80.3%) who underwent laparoscopic hysterectomy, the average duration of the operation was 152.24 +/- 45.7 min, and the average weight of the uterus was 238.3 +/- 154.1 g. The duration of the laparoscopic operation was correlated in a statistically significant fashion with the weight of the uterus (P = 0.0005), the necessity of associated procedures during the hysterectomy (P = 0.01) and the surgeons' experience (P = 0.01). These results demonstrated that laparoscopic surgery decreases the number of laparotomies necessary for patients with no previous vaginal delivery who require hysterectomy. When vaginal access is poor, simple laparoscopic preparation is inadequate and the only possibili...Continue Reading

COVID-19

Coronaviruses encompass a large family of viruses that cause the common cold as well as more serious diseases, such as the ongoing outbreak of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19; formally known as 2019-nCoV). Coronaviruses can spread from animals to humans; symptoms include fever, cough, shortness of breath, and breathing difficulties; in more severe cases, infection can lead to death. This feed covers recent research on COVID-19.

Blastomycosis

Blastomycosis fungal infections spread through inhaling Blastomyces dermatitidis spores. Discover the latest research on blastomycosis fungal infections here.

Nuclear Pore Complex in ALS/FTD

Alterations in nucleocytoplasmic transport, controlled by the nuclear pore complex, may be involved in the pathomechanism underlying multiple neurodegenerative diseases including Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis and Frontotemporal Dementia. Here is the latest research on the nuclear pore complex in ALS and FTD.

Applications of Molecular Barcoding

The concept of molecular barcoding is that each original DNA or RNA molecule is attached to a unique sequence barcode. Sequence reads having different barcodes represent different original molecules, while sequence reads having the same barcode are results of PCR duplication from one original molecule. Discover the latest research on molecular barcoding here.

Chronic Fatigue Syndrome

Chronic fatigue syndrome is a disease characterized by unexplained disabling fatigue; the pathology of which is incompletely understood. Discover the latest research on chronic fatigue syndrome here.

Evolution of Pluripotency

Pluripotency refers to the ability of a cell to develop into three primary germ cell layers of the embryo. This feed focuses on the mechanisms that underlie the evolution of pluripotency. Here is the latest research.

Position Effect Variegation

Position Effect Variagation occurs when a gene is inactivated due to its positioning near heterochromatic regions within a chromosome. Discover the latest research on Position Effect Variagation here.

STING Receptor Agonists

Stimulator of IFN genes (STING) are a group of transmembrane proteins that are involved in the induction of type I interferon that is important in the innate immune response. The stimulation of STING has been an active area of research in the treatment of cancer and infectious diseases. Here is the latest research on STING receptor agonists.

Microbicide

Microbicides are products that can be applied to vaginal or rectal mucosal surfaces with the goal of preventing, or at least significantly reducing, the transmission of sexually transmitted infections. Here is the latest research on microbicides.
