Area of Science:

  • Minimally Invasive Gynecological Surgery
  • Surgical Technology Evaluation
  • Laparoscopic Procedures

Background:

  • Laparoscopic hysterectomy (LH) is a common gynecological procedure.
  • Hemostasis during LH is critical for patient safety.
  • Advanced energy devices aim to improve surgical outcomes.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the efficacy, safety, utility, and applicability of ultrasonic activated technology for laparoscopic hysterectomy.
  • To assess the performance of the harmonic scalpel and Laparosonic Coagulating Shears (LCS) in LH.
  • To compare outcomes with traditional electrosurgical methods.

Main Methods:

  • Prospective clinical study involving 36 women undergoing LH.
  • Primary hemostatic treatment utilized harmonic scalpel and LCS.

  • Patients were assessed for efficacy, safety, utility, and applicability of the laparosonic technique.

    • Main Results:

    • 91.6% of laparoscopic procedures were successfully completed using ultrasonic technology.
    • Mean operating time was 86.03 minutes with an average blood loss of 170 ml.
    • No major complications were reported; one case of postoperative bleeding from the vaginal cuff occurred.

    Conclusions:

    • Ultrasonic activated technology is easy to use, cost-effective, and enhances surgeon safety in LH.
    • The harmonic scalpel facilitates surgical incision with simultaneous hemostasis.
    • Further randomized studies are recommended to confirm these preliminary findings.
