Operative pelviscopy is increasingly replacing laparotomy for uterine surgeries, especially myoma removal. This minimally invasive approach preserves the uterus, aiding future fertility and reducing complications.

Area of Science:

  • Minimally Invasive Gynecologic Surgery
  • Reproductive Medicine
  • Surgical Technology

Background:

  • Laparotomy for uterine surgery carries risks of postoperative sequelae.
  • Organ preservation is a key goal in modern gynecologic surgery.
  • Minimally invasive techniques offer potential benefits over traditional open procedures.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the efficacy of operative pelviscopy in replacing laparotomy for uterine surgeries.
  • To assess the role of operative pelviscopy in myoma surgery.
  • To highlight the benefits of minimally invasive approaches for uterus preservation and reduced complications.

Main Methods:

  • Retrospective analysis of uterine surgeries performed in the department.
  • Comparison of outcomes between laparotomy and operative pelviscopy.

  • Focus on myoma surgeries treated with operative pelviscopy.

    • Main Results:

    • Operative pelviscopy replaced laparotomy in 15-20% of uterine surgeries.
    • Approximately 70% of myoma surgeries were successfully treated with operative pelviscopy, avoiding laparotomy.
    • Minimally invasive surgery led to decreased adhesion formation, intestinal obstruction, and chronic pain.

    Conclusions:

    • Operative pelviscopy is a viable alternative to laparotomy for uterine and myoma surgery.
    • This approach facilitates uterus preservation, crucial for women desiring future childbearing.
    • Minimally invasive techniques enhance patient outcomes by reducing surgical morbidity.
