A comparison of laparoscopically-assisted radical vaginal hysterectomy and radical abdominal hysterectomy in the treatment of cervical cancer

Lower urinary tract injuries diagnosed after hysterectomy: Seven‐year experience at a cancer hospital

“…performed a meta‐analysis and reported that return to normal activity was quicker after laparoscopic than abdominal hysterectomy with a shorter hospitalization, fewer infections, less blood loss, and a lower drop in hemoglobin, but the risk of LUTI increased 2.6 times following laparoscopic hysterectomies compared to abdominal hysterectomies (0.4 vs 1.4%) 5 . A laparoscopic hysterectomy is a safe procedure for patients with early cervical cancer and endometrial cancer 12,13,19 . A laparoscopic hysterectomy is more commonly performed than an abdominal hysterectomy, even in our center, which specializes in the treatment of gynecological cancers.…”

The feasibility of scarless single-port transumbilical total laparoscopic hysterectomy: initial clinical experience

“…In the early 1980s, laser and electric energy technology was introduced to laparoscopic surgery, which extended to gynecologic surgeries such as hysterectomy, adnexal surgery, and uterine myomectomy. Now, laparoscopic surgery has been conducted in more complicated gynecologic procedures for gynecologic cancer, urinary incontinence, and pelvic organ prolapse [2,3].…”
