This case control study was conducted in the department of Gynae & Obstetrics, Sir Salimullah Medical College & Mitford Hospital (SSMC & MH), Dhaka, during the period of January 2008 to December 2008 to compare the length of operation, blood loss, length of hospital stay, drug requirements for pain and post-operative pain and activity levels between Laparoscopically Assisted Vaginal Hysterectomy (LAVH) & Total Abdominal Hysterectomy (TAH). A total of 50 patients who met some eligibility criteria were consecutively included in the study and matched in a case control manner for age, weight, diagnosis & uterine size. The procedures were performed by the same surgeon. On average, LAVH operations took significantly longer than TAH operations (P<0.001). Equal number of patients of both groups (40%) needed blood transfusion. No significant difference about haemoglobin level compared to TAH group on 3rd POD (P=0.246). However total amount of analgesics needed was much higher in the TAH group than that of the LAVH group (243.7 ± 40.3VS 182.1 ± 69.6 mg; P= 0.005) and the total cost of operation was significantly less in the TAH group (4500 ± 500 takas) than in the LAVH group (6500 ± 500 taka) (P<0.001). It was observed that LAVH group produced earlier relief from pain in terms of pain VAS on 3rd POD, (P<0.001). LAVH is less painful, has a shorter length of hospital stay and quicker return to work than TAH. Moreover LAVH does not increase intra or postoperative complications.

Background: Hysterectomy is the most common operation performed by the gynaecologist. The uterus can be removed using any of the technique and approaches, including abdominal, vaginal, laparoscopic. There are no formal guidelines available regarding the most appropriate route of hysterectomy. Hence, a comparison of the clinical results of the three routes of hysterectomy is needed.Methods: a prospective study was performed at Indira Gandhi government medical college Nagpur between September 2015- October 2017, among 150 women indicated to undergo hysterectomy for benign and mobile uterine conditions. They were assigned 50 each to three routes of hysterectomy (abdominal, non-descent vaginal hysterectomy and Laparoscopic assisted vaginal hysterectomy). Outcome measures including operating time, blood loss, fall in haemoglobin, intra-operative complications, duration of analgesia, VAS score, hospital stay and post-operative morbidity were assessed and compared between the three groups.Results: Fibroid uterus (65.33%), was the commonest indication for hysterectomy. As far as operating time, intra-operative blood loss, fall in haemoglobin, duration of analgesia, VAS score and hospital stay P Value was significant among the three group. Incidence of complications was least in the NDVH group.Conclusions: In developing country like India with poor health care resources, scarcity of beds and non-availability of sophisticated equipment NDVH offers a distinctive advantage over other route of hysterectomy and should be the route of choice for benign uterine conditions.

Abdominal hysterectomy, the procedure by which almost 90% of hysterectomies are currently being done. Laparoscopicassisted vaginal hysterectomy has been introduced as an alternative to abdominal hysterectomy, and is thought to allow a more rapid return tonormal activity. Laparoscopic assisted vaginal hysterectomy has less postoperative morbidity and quicker recovery than abdominalhysterectomy. Objective: To compare the laparoscopic assisted vaginal hysterectomy with total abdominal hysterectomy in term of operativetime, per operative blood loss and post-operative wound infection. Study Design: Randomized trial. Setting: This study was carried out in thedepartment of obstetrics and gynaecology, Shaikh Zayed Hospital, Lahore. Period: Six months (15th September, 2008 to 15th March 2009).Patients and methods: Eighty patients fulfilling the inclusion criteria were selected for this study. Patients were equally divided in two groups;group A (laparoscopic assisted vaginal hysterectomy) and group B (total abdominal hysterectomy). Operative time (in minutes), blood loss (inml) as estimated and post-operative wound infection was assessed by presence or absence of wound discharge, redness and edema aroundthe incision on 3rd, 5th and 7th post-operative day. Results: The mean ages of women in group A was 49.13+4.26 and 45.68+4.54 years ingroup B. The maximum number of parity between 3-4 was 19 in group A and 20 in group B. Mean weights of cases in group A was 65.60+10.45kilograms and 70.77+15.59 kilograms in groups B. The per-operative time in group A was 105.13+6.55 minutes and 83.38+14.82 minutes ingroup B. The mean blood loss in group A was 178.0+43.51 ml and 228.25+72.49 ml in group B. The wound discharge was not found in group A,while in group B, 4 cases (10%) on 3rd post-operative day, 6 cases (15%) on 5th post-operative day and 11 cases 27.5% on 7th post-operative.Conclusions: Laparoscopic assisted vaginal hysterectomy has a quicker post-operative recovery but at the expense of a bit long duration ofsurgery. Laparoscopic vaginal assisted hysterectomy is a feasible option in a selected group of patients who would otherwise require anabdominal hysterectomy. The drug requirement to control pain and level of pain experienced by patients were also significantly less.

Background: Laparoscopic assisted vaginal hysterectomy (LAVH) has become an alternative to Total Abdominal Hysterectomy (TAH) in cases difficult to manage via vaginal route. To compare the TAH and LAVH for benign uterine pathology.Methods: This prospective study conducted with the outcomes of Laparoscopic assisted vaginal hysterectomy with Total abdominal hysterectomy over a period of 2 years in 100 patients who are undergoing hysterectomies for benign uterine pathology. 50 underwent TAH and 50 underwent Laparoscopic Assisted Vaginal hysterectomy.Results: The average duration of surgery in TAH group is 50 minutes and it is 75 minutes in LAVH group (P<0.05). In TAH group, blood loss was more (250-500ml) in 28% of patients, where as it was <250 ml in 92% of patients in LAVH group. Mean blood loss is 238 ml and 130 ml in TAH and LAVH group (P<0.01). Only 3 (6%) patients in LAVH group required blood transfusion (P>0.05). Recovery and return to work after discharge from hospital was early with LAVH group as early. Recovery and return to work after discharge from hospital was early with LAVH group as early as 2 weeks in 46% of patients. In TAH group, it was late by 4 weeks in 52% of patients and by 6 weeks in 10% of patients.Conclusions: Thus, it can be concluded that LAVH is safe with less blood loss, shorter duration of hospital stay, early recovery to work, and other intra-operative and post-operative complications.
