Official Title: Lateral Versus Cervical Coagulation of the Uterine Artery in Benign Hysterectomy: A Randomized Controlled Study
Brief Summary:
Laparoscopic hysterectomy is associated with complications in form of infections and subsequently dehiscence of the vault. This is a serious complication. The infection may be related to the frequently observed postoperative hematoma following traditional laparoscopic hysterectomy where the uterine artery is coagulated and divided at the cervical entry into the uterus.
By coagulation of the uterine artery laterally close to the internal iliac artery this problem may be eliminated due to the much less bleeding observed during this procedure.
