3-dimensional versus conventional laparoscopy for benign hysterectomy: protocol for a randomized clinical trial.

Background: Hysterectomy is one of the most common surgical procedures for women of reproductive age. Laparoscopy was introduced in the 1990es and is today one of the recommended routes of surgery. A recent observational study showed that operative time for hysterectomy was significantly lower for 3-dimensional compared to conventional laparoscopy.

Laparoscopic surgery for early endometrial cancer.

Introduction: The purpose of the present study was to evaluate learning curves and short-term outcomes following laparoscopic surgery for early endometrial cancer in women of different body mass index (BMI) classes.

Material And Methods: Data from 227 women planned for laparoscopic surgery for presumed stage I endometrial cancer were collected retrospectively from a Danish gynecologic oncology unit. Surgery included laparoscopic hysterectomy and bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy with or without pelvic lymphadenectomy (PLA).

Impact of adding a second layer to a single unlocked closure of a Cesarean uterine incision: randomized controlled trial.

Objective: To investigate short- and long-term effects on residual myometrial thickness (RMT) of adding a second layer to a single unlocked closure of a Cesarean uterine incision.

Methods: This was a randomized double-blind controlled trial. Healthy nulliparous women scheduled for first-time elective Cesarean delivery were operated on using a modified version of the Misgav Ladach surgical technique.

Placenta percreta treated using a new surgical technique.

Placenta percreta is still a life threatening condition due to the risk of excessive bleeding. Furthermore, it confers a considerable risk of the patient losing her uterus. An improved diagnosis including assessment of the depth of myometrial and serosal invasion is now available by color Doppler imaging, making the planning of elective caesarean section possible.
