Summary
This summary is machine-generated.

Pedicle sealing devices significantly reduce operative time, blood loss, hospital stay, and pain for vaginal hysterectomy. Further research is needed for other technologies facilitating vaginal surgery.

Area of Science:

  • Gynecologic Surgery
  • Surgical Technology Evaluation
  • Minimally Invasive Procedures

Background:

  • Systematic review of clinical and surgical outcomes for technologies aiding vaginal procedures.
  • Evaluation of contemporary tools for benign gynecologic surgery via vaginal approach.

Approach:

  • Searched MEDLINE, EMBASE, and ClinicalTrials.gov (1990-2022).
  • Included comparative and single-arm studies on vaginal surgery technologies.
  • Extracted data on study characteristics, technology, patient demographics, and outcomes.
  • Assessed risk of bias and conducted meta-analyses where indicated.

Key Points:

  • Pedicle sealing devices reduced operative time by 15.9 min, blood loss by 36.9 mL, hospital stay by 0.2 days, and pain scores by 1.4 points in vaginal hysterectomy.
  • Nonrobotic vaginal natural orifice transluminal endoscopic surgery (vNOTES) demonstrated feasibility for hysterectomy, adnexal surgery, pelvic reconstruction, and myomectomy.
  • Limited data exists for robotic vNOTES, suture capture devices, loop ligatures, and telescopic cameras due to study heterogeneity or scarcity.

Conclusions:

  • Pedicle sealing devices offer clear benefits for vaginal hysterectomy, improving efficiency and patient recovery.
  • While vNOTES shows promise, more comparative studies are essential to establish the effectiveness of various technologies in facilitating vaginal surgical procedures.
  • Further research is recommended to fully understand the potential and limitations of emerging technologies in gynecologic surgery.
