Area of Science:

  • Urology
  • Gynecologic Surgery
  • Minimally Invasive Procedures

Background:

  • Bladder perforation is a rare but serious complication during hysterectomy.
  • Traditional repair methods can be complex and time-consuming.

Observation:

  • A case of bladder perforation occurred during LAVH.
  • The perforation was identified and managed intraoperatively.
  • Laparoscopic loop ligatures were employed for the closure.

Findings:

  • This is the first reported case of using laparoscopic loop ligatures to repair a bladder perforation.
  • The loop ligature technique proved to be an easy and quick procedure.
  • Successful closure of the bladder perforation was achieved.

Implications:

  • Laparoscopic loop ligatures represent a viable and efficient method for managing bladder perforations during LAVH.
  • This technique may be adopted by surgeons proficient in endoscopic suturing.
  • Potential to reduce operative time and improve patient outcomes in similar cases.
