Summary

Hysterectomy is one of the most common surgical procedures in gynecologic practice. Inspiteof the development of alternative treatments, the incidence of hysterectomy doesn't appear to be declining. Routes for hysterectomy include abdominal, vaginal, laparoscopic or combined approaches.Vaginal hysterectomy is the method of choice for removal of the uterus in patients with benign gynecological diseases. A Cochrane review of surgical approaches to hysterectomy for benign gynecological diseases concluded that, wee possible vaginal hysterectomy should be performed in preference to abdominal hysterectomy.

Conditions

  • Vaginal Hysterectomy

Interventions

PROCEDURE

Unipolar Electrocautery sealing of vessels

1. Vaginal walls are incised by monoplar current (40 W) 2. A curved Bulldog Clamp is applied just 0.5 cm lateral to the uterine border along its attachements all through the pedicles. Then unipolar electrocautery (40 W) is applied to the pedicles along the lateral border of the uterus medial to the artery with maximum thickness 1 cm. 3. uterine vessels are individually secured. 4. Conventional volume reduction maneuvers are used as associated procedures in cases of large uteri to create the parauterine space to approach the lateral attachements.

PROCEDURE
