Finnish national register of laparoscopic hysterectomies: a review and complications of 1165 operations

Article Abstract:

Shorter hospital stays and recovery periods may follow laparoscopic hysterectomy but surgeons may need thorough training to avoid injuring the urinary tract. Laparoscopy involves passing a laparoscope through a small incision in the abdomen. A large study in Finland of women undergoing hysterectomy compared the outcomes of women undergoing the new technique of laparoscopic hysterectomy to outcomes of women who had vaginal or abdominal hysterectomies. Hospital stays were three to four days shorter and recovery periods were two to three weeks shorter after laparoscopic hysterectomy. Urinary tract and bowel injuries were higher, however.
