    Area of Science:

    • Gynecology
    • Minimally Invasive Surgery
    • Reproductive Medicine

    Background:

    • Pelvic pain and infertility are common gynecological issues.
    • Conservative management options are sought for these conditions.
    • Uterine suspension is a surgical approach to address uterine positioning.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To evaluate the feasibility and outcomes of laparoscopic uterine suspension.
    • To assess the safety and efficacy of this technique in treating infertility and pelvic pain.
    • To document the learning curve and potential complications.

    Main Methods:

    • A series of 20 patients underwent laparoscopic uterine suspension.
    • The procedure was performed by skilled laparoscopists.
    • Data on operative time, complications, and hospital stay were collected.

    Main Results:

    • The operative technique was found to be easily mastered.
    • Avulsion of the round ligament was the most significant complication.
    • Operating time was brief, and hospital stays were short.

    Conclusions:

    • Laparoscopic uterine suspension is a viable conservative treatment for infertility and pelvic pain.
    • The procedure is technically manageable for experienced laparoscopists.
    • Potential complications, such as round ligament avulsion, require careful surgical consideration.
