Study Objective:
To evaluate the outcomes of total laparoscopic hysterectomy using 3D vision in comparison with 2D vision in women with large uteri (≥500g).
Design:
Retrospective analytical study Design Classification: Canadian Task Force II-1 Setting: Tertiary referral center for advanced gynecological surgery.
Patients:
Five hundred forty six women who underwent total laparoscopic hysterectomy over a period of 13 years were studied: 301 under 2D vision and 245 under 3D vision.
Interventions:
Total laparoscopic hysterectomy Measurements: Surgical time, blood loss and complications were recorded for every case in both groups.
Main Results:
The duration of surgery for hysterectomy in the 3D laparoscopy group (88.01?36.95 min) was significantly shorter than that in the 2D group (112.61?42.59 min, p=.0001). Blood loss in the 500-1000g group was significantly less in the 3D group (p=.005). The total complication rates for 3D surgery (3.37 %) and 2D surgery (6.64%) were comparable (p=.25).
Conclusion:
Three-dimensional laparoscopy provides stereoscopic vision and increases precision and safety. The availability of depth perception adds to the ease of surgery, especially in cases of large uteri, leading to reductions in both the duration of surgery and blood loss, which improves patient outcomes.
