Objectives: To evaluate whether the use of barbed sutures during laparoscopic hysterectomy for vaginal cuff closure has reduced the surgical difficulty and incidence of post-operative complications as compared to polyglactin 910 suture.
Materials And Methods: This is a randomized comparative study conducted at a tertiary care hospital and research institute where 100 patients were divided into two groups (50 each) and underwent vault closure using barbed suture/Polyglactin 910. Data collected include demographic details, indication for surgery, mean suturing time, degree of surgeon difficulty, and the incidence of postoperative complications when followed up to 12 weeks and were compared statistically using Chi square test and Independent-t test.
Objective: To evaluate the fertility outcome in laparoscopic unilateral tubal reanastomosis.
Study Design: This was a retrospective observational study. The medical records of all patients who underwent laparoscopic unilateral tubal reanastomosis from October 2003 to October 2010 at the Center for Advanced Endoscopy and Infertility Treatment, Paul's Hospital, Cochin, Kerala, India, were analyzed.
Background And Objectives: The purpose of this study is to estimate the cumulative incidence, patient characteristics, and potential risk factors for secondary hemorrhage after total laparoscopic hysterectomy.
Methods: All women who underwent total laparoscopic hysterectomy at Paul's Hospital between January 2004 and April 2012 were included in the study. Patients who had bleeding per vaginam between 24 hours and 6 weeks after primary surgery were included in the analysis.
