Purpose Of Review: By the current review we aim to describe different options for laparoscopic hysterectomy in patients with endometrial cancer and discuss the reported risk factors and limitations of laparoscopic hysterectomy in surgical staging of endometrial cancer.
Recent Findings: Laparoscopic techniques and equipment have matured over the last 15 years and are now widely used to treat patients with endometrial cancer, thereby potentially reducing perioperative morbidity and postoperative pain, and providing shorter hospital stay, faster recovery and improved quality of life compared with the corresponding open procedures. However, some risk factors are postulated to limit the use of laparoscopic hysterectomy in staging of endometrial cancer.
Summary: Surgical staging of endometrial cancer by laparoscopic hysterectomy is feasible and well tolerated. This surgical approach does not seem to affect recurrence and overall survival rates. Limitations of laparoscopic hysterectomy in management of endometrial cancer need to be evaluated.

Article Synopsis
- The study compares total laparoscopic hysterectomy (TLH) and laparoscopic supracervical hysterectomy (LSCH) during minimally invasive sacrocolpopexy for treating uterovaginal prolapse.
- Results showed no significant difference in overall recurrence of prolapse between the two methods, but TLH had lower odds of recurrence in multivariable analysis.
- TLH had a higher proportion of mesh exposures with lightweight mesh, but this finding wasn't significant after adjusting for other factors.
Electrosurgical Devices Used During Laparoscopic Hysterectomy.
JSLS
January 2025
Department of Medical and Surgical Gynecology, Mayo Clinic College of Medicine & Science, Jacksonville, FL. (Drs. Horton, Coombs, and Cardenas-Trowers).
Background: Hysterectomy is one of the most common surgical procedures performed in the United States and most are now being performed in a minimally invasive approach. Electrosurgery and vessel sealing devices are needed in order to provide hemostasis and vascular coaptation; however, there is no guiding evidence and limited recommendations for the use of the currently available devices for laparoscopic hysterectomy. The purpose of this study is to provide a systematic review of electrosurgical devices used in benign hysterectomy and perform a meta-analysis to find the overall effect of various outcomes.
