Adverse outcomes related to morcellation in Total Laparoscopic Hysterectomy

This study aimed to comprehensively evaluate the complications associated with morcellation in Total Laparoscopic Hysterectomy (TLH) procedures, providing evidence-based insights to enhance patient safety and surgical efficacy.

A comprehensive literature search was conducted using multiple databases, including PubMed, EMBASE, Google Scholar, and Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials. The inclusion criteria were Studies that focused on morcellation and morcellation-related complications were included. The risk of bias in the included studies was assessed using established evaluation scales.

Thirteen studies investigating complications associated with morcellation in TLH (Total Laparoscopic Hysterectomy) were included in this review.This review covers intraoperative blood loss, length of hospital stay, loss of bag integrity, mean uterine specimen and weight, morcellation time, operation time, and TLH morcellation complications.

The selected studies covered different approaches and aspects related to this procedure, providing valuable insights into the factors associated with complications and efficacy of the technique in various clinical settings.This review highlights the importance of evaluating and considering complications associated with morcellation in TLH.

The findings of this review provide valuable insights into complications associated with morcellation in TLH. Clinicians could use this information to make informed decisions, implement safe protocols, and improve patient care. Addressing these complications will enhance the safety and efficacy of morcellation for TLH. Ethical Compliance: All procedures performed in this study involving human participants were in accordance with the ethical standards of the institutional and/or national research committee and the 1964 Helsinki Declaration and its later amendments or comparable ethical standards.
