Efficacy and safety evaluation of a reusable advanced hemostatic device (Vi-Sealer) during total laparoscopic hysterectomy in South Korea (KGOG4009/Vi-TLH trial): study protocol for a multicenter, open-label, non-inferiority randomized controlled trial

Trials ·doi:10.1186/s13063-025-09222-w

BACKGROUND: Advanced hemostatic devices (AHDs) are widely utilized in gynecologic minimally invasive surgeries. These AHDs control ultrasonic or bipolar electric/thermal energy with a feedback mechanism and effectively seal vessels without …

Can a Continuous Wound Infiltration System Replace Intravenous Patient-Controlled Analgesia for Postoperative Pain Management after a Single-Port Access Laparoscopy?

Journal of clinical medicine ·doi:10.3390/jcm13195718

Background: The aim of this study was to determine whether continuous wound infiltration (CWI) can replace intravenous patient-controlled analgesia (IV PCA) and to investigate effective pain control strategies after a single-port access (SP…

Efficacy of a continuous wound infiltration system for postoperative pain management in gynecologic patients who underwent single-port access laparoscopy for adnexal disease

Frontiers in medicine ·doi:10.3389/fmed.2023.1199428

INTRODUCTION: Single-port access (SPA) laparoscopy requires only one incision, unlike conventional laparoscopy. However, its umbilical incision is larger than that of conventional laparoscopy and can be vulnerable to postoperative pain. Thi…

Usefulness of hemostatic sealants for minimizing ovarian damage during laparoscopic cystectomy for endometriosis

Journal of Obstetrics and Gynaecology Research ·doi:10.1111/jog.13542

AIM: We aimed to evaluate the impact of topical hemostatic sealants and bipolar coagulation during laparoscopic ovarian endometriotic cyst resection on ovarian reserve by comparing the rates of decrease in anti-Müllerian hormone (AMH). MET…

Effect on ovarian reserve of hemostasis by bipolar coagulation versus suture during laparoendoscopic single-site cystectomy for ovarian endometriomas

Journal of Minimally Invasive Gynecology ·doi:10.1016/j.jmig.2014.11.002

STUDY OBJECTIVE: To compare the postoperative decrease in ovarian reserve between hemostasis by bipolar coagulation and suture during laparoendoscopic single-site cystectomy (LESS-C) for ovarian endometriomas. DESIGN: Prospective comparati…
