Description
Summary:The aim of this prospective study is to evaluate and compare to the outcomes of total laparoscopic hysterectomy (TLH) and total abdominal hysterectomy (TAH) who performed in our clinic. We performed surgical procedures at Necmettin Erbakan University Faculty of Medicine, Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology between January 2013 and April 2014. Forty patients who underwent TLH (group 1) compared to 40 patients who underwent TAH (group 2). The mean age of the cases, body mass index (BMI), duration of operation, the amount of blood loss, rates of complications and post operative hospital stay were compared for two groups. There were no statistically significant differences between the two groups regarding age, body mass index (BMI), specimen weight, pre-operative hemoglobin (Hb) value and rates of the complications. The mean post-operative Hb value was significantly higher in group 1 than group 2 (11.5±0.8 gr/dl vs. 10.8±1.7, p=0.02). The mean time of operation was significantly longer in group 1 than in group 2 (105.4±22.9 minutes vs. 74±18, p
