Analysis of a Standardized Technique for Laparoscopic Cuff Closure following 1924 Total Laparoscopic Hysterectomies.

ABSTRACT: Objective. To review the vaginal cuff complications from a large series of total laparoscopic hysterectomies in which the laparoscopic culdotomy closure was highly standardized. Methods. Retrospective cohort study (Canadian Task Force Classification II-3) of consecutive total and radical laparoscopic hysterectomy patients with all culdotomy closures performed laparoscopically was conducted using three guidelines: placement of all sutures 5?mm deep from the vaginal edge with a 5?mm interval, incorporation of the uterosacral ligaments with the pubocervical fascia at each angle, and, whenever possible, suturing the bladder peritoneum over the vaginal cuff edge utilizing two suture types of comparable tensile strength. Four outcomes are reviewed: dehiscence, bleeding, infection, and adhesions. Results. Of 1924 patients undergoing total laparoscopic hysterectomy, 44 patients (2.29%) experienced a vaginal cuff complication, with 19 (0.99%) requiring reoperation. Five patients (0.26%) had dehiscence after sexual penetration on days 30-83, with 3 requiring reoperation. Thirteen patients (0.68%) developed bleeding, with 9 (0.47%) requiring reoperation. Twenty-three (1.20%) patients developed infections, with 4 (0.21%) requiring reoperation. Three patients (0.16%) developed obstructive small bowel adhesions to the cuff requiring laparoscopic lysis. Conclusion. A running 5?mm deep × 5?mm apart culdotomy closure that incorporates the uterosacral ligaments with the pubocervical fascia, with reperitonealization when possible, appears to be associated with few postoperative vaginal cuff complications.

Project description:BackgroundThe aim of this study was to compare the outcomes of modified Bakay technique (MT) to standard colpotomy (ST) and cuff closure in total laparoscopic hysterectomy (TLH).MethodsThis two-centre, randomized-controlled study included a total of 160 patients who were scheduled for TLH for benign diseases (ClinicalTrials.gov Identifier is NCT05080114 and the first posted date was 15/10/2021). The patients were allocated into two groups by a computer-based randomization programme as ST group and MT group. Total operative time, cuff closure time, length of hospital stay, intra- and postoperative complications according to the Clavien-Dindo classification, pre- and postoperative vaginal length, and patient satisfaction according to the Patient Global Impression of Improvement (PGI-I) questionnaire were assessed.ResultsSeventy-seven patients in the ST group and 80 patients in the MT group underwent TLH. The total operative time was significantly shorter in the MT compared to the ST (55.5 vs. 59 min, respectively; p = 0.001). The median total operative time for colpotomy, extraction of uterus, and vaginal cuff closure steps was 9 (range 6-12 in MT vs. 6 to 11 in ST) min in both groups. The median hospital stay was 2 (range 1-4) days in both groups. Intraoperative blood loss was not significantly different between the groups (90 mL in ST vs. 80 mL in MT; p = 0.456). The mean uterine weight for the ST group and MT group was comparable (258.6 ± 88.6 g vs. 232.9 ± 102.5 g, respectively; p = 0.107). The preoperative vaginal length was not significantly different between the groups (p = 0.502). The median postoperative vaginal length was significantly higher in the MT group compared to the ST group on Day 90 (8 cm vs. 7,5 cm, respectively; p = 0.001). The PGI-I questionnaire score on Day 90 postoperatively was 2 (range 1-5) in both groups (p = 0.636). The complication rates were similar between the groups (p = 0.230).ConclusionThe MT can be safely performed in most of the cases requiring TLH with the advantages of vaginal cuff closure before the alteration of pelvic anatomy, support to primary healing of the vaginal cuff, and routine concomitant apical support.

Project description:ObjectivesOur institution had modified the Soave pull-through procedure using laparoscopic stepwise gradient muscular cuff cutting (LSGC) for Hirschsprung disease (HSCR). However, we found that a few children still suffered from obstructive symptoms and enterocolitis during the follow-up. Previous studies suggested that these symptoms might be caused by the retained muscular cuff. The purpose of this study was to employ a modified procedure of laparoscopic complete excision of the posterior muscular cuff (LCEPC) for HSCR and compare it with the laparoscopic stepwise gradient cutting muscular cuff (LSGC) procedure.MethodsOur institution records of 83 patients with classic form HSCR who underwent LSGC or LCEPC between August 2014 and July 2018 at the Pediatric Surgery Department of Zunyi Medical University (Zunyi, China) were carefully reviewed (LSGC, n = 52; LCEPC, n = 31). In the present study, we compared the postoperative complications and defecation functions of the two groups. All patients were followed-up (1-5 years, with an average of 2 years).ResultsThere were no differences regarding the operation time and the length of hospitalization between groups, while the anal dissection time in the LCEPC group (22.4 ± 4.8 min) was shorter than that of the LSGC group (45.5 ± 7.5 min) (p < 0.001). The postoperative complication of soiling was significantly increased in six patients (19.4%) in the LCEPC group compared with two patients (3.8%) in the LSGC group (p = 0.021). However, the total incidence of enterocolitis (two patients, 6.5%) was significantly decreased in the LCEPC group compared with the LSGC group (12 patients, 23.1 %) (p = 0.050). For anastomotic stricture, muscular cuff infection, and constipation, there were no significant differences between the two groups. No patients experienced bladder paralysis and incontinence postoperatively in this study. Anorectal manometries presented that the anorectal resting pressure was significantly lower in the LCEPC group (14.8 ± 2.7 mmHg) than the LSGC group (22.0 ± 3.8 mmHg), (p < 0.001).ConclusionThe laparoscopic complete excision of the posterior muscular cuff method was demonstrated as safe and efficient, with a decrease in the incidence of enterocolitis, although it may increase the number of soiling incidents in the short period post-surgery owing to a dissected partial internal anal sphincter.

Project description:BackgroundMotorized articulating laparoscopic instruments (ALI) offer more degrees of freedom than conventional laparoscopic instruments (CLI). However, a difficult learning curve and complex instrument handling are still a problem of ALI. We compared the performance of new prototypes of motorized ALI with CLI in a series of standardized laparoscopic tasks performed by laparoscopic novices. Further, usability of the new ALI was assessed.MethodsA randomized cross-over study with 50 laparoscopic novices who either started with CLI and then changed to ALI (CA) or vice versa (AC) was conducted. All participants performed the European training in basic laparoscopic urological skills (E-BLUS) with each instrument in given order. Time and errors were measured for each exercise. Instrument usability was assessed.ResultsOverall, using CLI was significantly faster (CLI 4:27 min vs. ALI 4:50 min; p-value 0.005) and associated with fewer exercise failures in needle guidance (CLI 0 vs. ALI 12; p-value 0.0005) than ALI. Median amount of errors was similar for both instruments. Instrument sequence did not matter, as CA and AC showed comparable completion times. Regarding the learning effect, participants were significantly faster in the second attempt of exercises than in the first. In the needle guidance task, participants using CLI last demonstrated a significant speed improvement, whereas ALI were significantly slower in the second run. Regarding usability, CLI were preferred over ALI due to lighter weight and easier handling. Nevertheless, participants valued ALI's additional degrees of freedom.ConclusionUsing new motorized ALI in the E-BLUS examination by laparoscopic novices led to a worse performance compared to CLI. An explanation could be that participants felt overwhelmed by ALI and that ALI have an own distinct learning curve. As participants valued ALI's additional degrees of freedom, however, a future application of ALI could be for training purposes, ideally in combination with CLI.
