Advanced gynecological laparoscopic surgery is an evolving subspecialty that requires specialized skills, expertise and equipment. This is more challenging and daunting, especially in sub Saharan Africa. Laparoscopic supracervical hysterectomy (LSCH) is an advanced gynecological procedure that has hitherto been seen as difficult because of the big size uteri seen in Nigerian women. We present thefirst LSCH and uterine morcellation done in Nigeria in a 45-year-old multipara on account of symptomatic uterine fibroid of 16 weeks size, at the Asokoro District Hospital, Abuja. Nigeria. She fared well postoperatively and highly satisfied with the procedure at the gynecological clinic review. Our case report has demonstrated clearly that the uterine size is not a limitation to laparoscopic hysterectomy. With proper port placement and adequate skills, LSCH of big size uteri, which is typical in sub Saharan Africa, can be safely achieved. We, therefore, recommend capacity building of Gynaecologists and peri-operative nurses in the field of minimal access surgery and improvement in the equipment in our various facilities to the modern standard.

Minimally Invasive Total Versus Supracervical Hysterectomy With Sacrocolpopexy.

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.

Objectives: Failures and complications associated with treatments comprising laparoscopic sacrohysteropexy (SHP) for advanced pelvic organ prolapse (POP) are unclear. We compared failure rates associated with SHP and laparoscopic supracervical hysterectomy (SCH)/sacrocolpopexy (SCP) for advanced POP to determine whether they differed.
Methods: Clinical data of patients who underwent SHP (n = 52) and SCH/SCP (n = 209) were retrospectively examined.

Division of Minimally Invasive Gynecologic Surgery, Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology, Cedars-Sinai Medical Center, Los Angeles, CA.
Background: Uterine fibroids are the most common indication for benign hysterectomy in the United States, but data regarding the association between hysterectomy type and outcomes for this indication are lacking.
Objective: This study aimed to describe the rate and odds of short-term (30 days) postoperative complications between patients who underwent minimally invasive total laparoscopic hysterectomy and those who underwent laparoscopic supracervical hysterectomy for uterine fibroids.
Study Design: This was a cohort study of prospectively collected data from the American College of Surgeons National Surgical Quality Improvement Program database from 2012 to 2020.

Purpose: To study the rate and odds of 30 day postoperative complications among patients undergoing minimally invasive total (TLH) compared to supracervical (LSCH) hysterectomy for endometriosis.
Study Design: A cohort study of patients with a diagnosis of endometriosis undergoing hysterectomy. We used prospectively collected data from the American College of Surgeons National Surgical Quality Improvement Program database from 2012 to 2020.
