Area of Science:

Gynecologic Surgery
Surgical Innovation

Background:

Ovarian retention or removal requires careful consideration during hysterectomy.
Transvaginal approaches present unique challenges in surgical exposure and accessibility for ovarian procedures.

Purpose of the Study:

To address the technical difficulties of vaginal oophorectomy.
To introduce a new suture ligation technique for safe ovarian removal during transvaginal hysterectomy.

Main Methods:

Description of a novel stitch for suture ligation of the mesovarium.
Focus on techniques applicable when salpingo-oophorectomy is inaccessible.

Main Results:

A specific stitch design for single-penetration mesovarium ligation is detailed.
