Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to compare two techniques of manual vaginal morcellation (contained vs. free) after total laparoscopic hysterectomy (TLH) in women at low risk for uterine cancer, focusing on their feasibility and safety.
- The researchers conducted a retrospective analysis of 271 patients, finding that contained morcellation (using a retrieval bag) led to significantly shorter operation times compared to free morcellation.
- Results showed no major differences in complications, blood loss, or recovery time between the two methods, indicating that contained morcellation is a safer and more efficient option.
Objective: To assess uterine artery arteriosclerosis prevalence in women undergoing total hysterectomy for benign diseases, and any associations between clinical, laboratory, and ultrasound factors and uterine artery arteriosclerosis occurrence.
Methods: A single center, observational, prospective, cohort study was performed enrolling all symptomatic patients scheduled for total hysterectomy from May to December 2021. Our outcomes were: uterine artery arteriosclerosis prevalence and the difference in clinical, laboratory, and ultrasonographic factors between patients with and without uterine artery arteriosclerosis.
Objective: To evaluate the changes in (1) residual myometrial thickness (RMT), (2) cesarean scar defect (CSD) size, and (3) clinical symptoms, before and after channel-like (360°) hysteroscopic resection for the treatment of CSD.
Methods: A single-center, observational, prospective, cohort study was carried out enrolling all symptomatic patients of childbearing age, diagnosed with CSD and routinely scheduled for channel-like (360°) hysteroscopic resection from July 2020 to July 2021 at the Division of Gynecology and Human Reproduction Physiopathology, Department of Medical and Surgical Sciences, IRCCS Azienda Ospedaliero-Univeristaria di Bologna. University of Bologna, Italy.
