Filter by:Vaginal hysterectomy is the preferred route of choice for women desiring hysterectomy to treat uterine pathology, including premalignant conditions and fibroids. Compared with an abdominal or a laparoscopic approach, VH has been associated with a shorter recovery time and faster return to daily activities. However, management of postoperative pain still remains challenging for patients undergoing VH. Duloxetine is a serotonin-norepinephrine reuptake inhibitor commonly prescribed for the treatment of major depression and anxiety. Duloxetine also has been used in the treatment of chronic pain conditions, such as osteoarthritis and musculoskeletal pain In contrast, studies examining its use to ameliorate acute postoperative pain are limited to a single trial.12 More importantly, it remains to be determined whether perioperative duloxetine can improve the global quality of recovery after surgery. The study included the hypothesis that perioperative duloxetine would ease postoperative recovery in patients undergoing VH, and the Quality of Recovery-15 questionnaire (QoR-15) was to be used for evaluation
Prevalence of pelvic organ prolapsed is high in Nepal. After prolapse surgery many patients are affected with incontinence. Incontinence has physical, social and mental effect to the individual. This study is designed to know the role for mid urethral sling during vaginal prolapse surgery to decrease the rate of incontinence after the surgery.
The hypotheses of this study is that the use of the instrument “Harmonic Scalpel” (ultrasonic shears) for vaginal hysterectomy instead of traditional sutures confers advantage over the use of traditional clamps and sutures. The proposed benefits and outcome measures are reduced blood loss, reduced operating time, reduced post-operative pain and earlier discharge from hospital. Other outcome measure will include complications and cost.
