This is the first report of a series of women who underwent total laparoscopic hysterectomy (TLH) to remove a large myomatous uterus weighing more than 390 g. The case history notes of 21 women undergoing TLH in both the private and public sectors of Flinders Endogynaecology were studied. The mean uterine weight was 534.7 g (390-1,022 g). The mean operating time was 155.0 +/- 56.1 minutes and mean blood loss was 297.6 mL (50-1,000 mL). The mean hospital stay was 3.2 +/- 1.0 days. The two complications were a post-operative deep venous thrombosis (DVT) and an estimated blood loss of 1000 mL in separate cases. Total laparoscopic hysterectomy is a low morbidity procedure offering a new option for the removal of the large myomatous uterus and avoidance of abdominal hysterectomy

This study aims to compare the efficacy of laparoscopic cholecystectomy combined with laparoscopic transcystic common bile duct exploration (LTCBDE), laparoscopic common bile duct exploration (LCBDE), and endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) in the treatment of gallbladder stones with common bile duct stones. We conducted a retrospective comparative analysis based on surgical time, intraoperative blood loss, postoperative recovery metrics, total hospitalization costs, gastrointestinal quality of life index (GIQLI) before and after surgery, and the incidence of postoperative complications. No significant differences were found among the three groups in terms of the surgical success rate, first stone clearance rate, intraoperative blood loss, incidence of postoperative complications, and stone recurrence rate (p > 0.
