Brief Summary

Previous surgery and obesity has disputed as an unfavorable factor during Total Laparoscopic Hysterectomy. The aim of the investigator's study was to assess the effects of previous abdominal surgery and obesity on intra-operative and post-operative outcomes of TLH.

Detailed Description

Abstract:

Objective: To assess the effects of previous abdominal surgery and obesity on the intra-operative and post-operative outcomes of total laparoscopic hysterectomy (TLH).

Method: In this retrospective cohort study, women who underwent TLH for benign conditions between January 2011 and December 2016 in tertiary academic center were included. Patients were grouped according to previous abdominal surgery. The study group consisted of patients who had at least one previous abdominal surgery and the control group consisted of patients with no previous abdominal surgery. In a further analysis, a subgroup of obese patients with BMI (body mass index) ≥30 kg/m2 was evaluated. For this analysis, the obese patients who underwent TLH were picked up and the results were compared to the results of obese patients who underwent total abdominal hysterectomy (TAH) during the same time period. The main outcome parameters were duration of hospital stay and major complication rate.
