This study reports the initial experience with laparoscopic hysterectomy in ten patients, demonstrating its feasibility with a low complication rate despite two postoperative issues.

One-sentence paraphrase of the abstract; not a substitute for reading it. No clinical advice. How this works

Abstract

Laparoscopic hysterectomy is now being performed in our department in cases where no malignancy is suspected. This study presents the first 10 cases. Indications for hysterectomy were myomas, meno- and metrorrhagia resistant to medical and hysteroscopic treatment, and patients with pain and suspicion of having adenomyosis. No complications have been encountered during the laparoscopic operations, but one patient had a second laparoscopy on the first postoperative day due to postoperative bleeding. Another patient had a postoperative infection leading to a compression of the ureter. This report demonstrates that laparoscopic hysterectomy is a valuable addition to the new procedures in 'minimal invasive surgery', but only after long and appropriate training.
