Does Uterine Manipulator Type Affect Surgical Outcomes of Laparoscopic Hysterectomy?

Objectives: Many surgeons use uterine manipulator (UM) during laparoscopic hysterectomy (LH). In this study, we aimed to compare the outcomes of LH operations performed by using partially reusable UM with the articulated system (artUM) and disposable (dUM) UM without articulation.

Materials And Methods: A total of 99 patients underwent the LH operation.

The effect of adenomyosis on the outcomes of laparoscopic hysterectomy.

Objective: The presence of adenomyosis (ADS) may increase complication rates associated with laparoscopic hysterectomy (LH) due to an increased weight of the uterus, increased vascularization of the uterus, impaired myometrial tissue, and presence of additional gynecological pathologies such as leiomyoma or endometriosis. The aim of the present study was to evaluate perioperative and early postoperative parameters in patients with or without adenomyotic lesions.

Material And Methods: The study included patients who underwent LH in a university hospital.
