Benign Uterine Disease Clinical Trial

Official title: A Retrospective Analysis of a Complete Enseal Laparoscopic Vaginal Assisted Hysterectomy Versus a Traditional Suture Laparoscopic Vaginal Hysterectomy

Status Completed

Clinical Trial Summary

Retrospective charts review from one surgeon to compare Group A- cases where the laparoscopic portion of the case used an EN~SEAL device to Group B - the laparoscopic BSO was done using a 3mm EN-SEAL device through 2 lateral 5mm ports.

Clinical Trial Description

79 women with benign uterine disease underwent laparoscopic assisted vaginal hysterectomy with or without bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy. Subjects charts were divided into two groups based on surgical technique and the following parameters were reviewed retrospectively: surgical time, blood loss, uterine weight, patient weight, patient age, post operative fever >100.4 F, readmission to hospital within one week, return to operating room within 24 hours, length of hospital stay, and blood transfusion. Group A, N=35 used traditional suture technique vaginally. Group B, N=44 used Enseal coagulation cutting device vaginally. ;
