Summary

Liga Sure represents a novel principle for hemostatic sealing of vessel-containing tissue based on feedback-programmed dosage of bipolar diathermy.(5) According to marketing of the device, Liga Sure has the potential to replace the use of conventional suture ligature within a broad range of surgical procedures, also including removal of the uterus. While the use of Liga Sure has been critically assessed for a range of procedures such as hemorrhoidectomy, splenectomy, bile duct, urological and gastric operations,(6-12) a similar scientific evaluation of its suitability for abdominal removal of the uterus is lacking in the literature. The most promising aspect of Liga Sure in hysterectomy is the potential shorter operation time and decrease blood loss. Because removal of the uterus traditionally is the most frequently performed major gynecological operation,(13) the introduction of a time-sparing new technique could have significant impact on resource consumption.

The aim of the study:

we aimed at evaluating the use of Liga Sure compared with conventional suture ligature during abdominal hysterectomy, in a prospective randomized controlled trial with special emphasis on the safety, the duration of the procedure and the amount of blood loss.
