Summary

Total laparoscopic intrafascial hysterectomy (TLIH) offers benefits of both total and subtotal hysterectomies while reducing complications. This technique preserves pelvic structures, potentially leading to better outcomes and fewer injuries during the procedure.

Area of Science:

  • Minimally Invasive Gynecologic Surgery
  • Surgical Techniques
  • Pelvic Anatomy Preservation

Background:

  • Hysterectomy, particularly laparoscopic approaches, carries risks of bladder and ureteral injuries.
  • Subtotal hysterectomy preserves pelvic ligaments for better support but has drawbacks.
  • Existing techniques present a trade-off between complication rates and structural preservation.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To introduce and evaluate the total laparoscopic intrafascial hysterectomy (TLIH) technique.
  • To demonstrate TLIH's potential to combine benefits of total and subtotal hysterectomies.
  • To highlight TLIH's advantages in minimizing complications and preserving pelvic structures.

Main Methods:

  • TLIH involves a higher incision level using a uterine manipulator and colpotomizer.
  • The cervix is circumcised, preserving uterosacral/cardinal ligaments and vaginal length.
  • Mobilization of the ureter, modified McCall culdoplasty, and specific vaginal cuff closure are key steps.

Main Results:

  • TLIH achieves maximum preservation of the vagina and pelvic supporting structures.
  • The technique results in a longer vagina and excellent pelvic support.
  • Reduced granulation tissue, postoperative leukorrhea, and postcoital bleeding are observed.

Conclusions:

  • TLIH offers a promising alternative to conventional hysterectomy methods.
  • The technique enhances pelvic support and vaginal length while minimizing surgical complications.
  • TLIH may reduce the incidence of enterocele and vaginal prolapse.
