Minilaparotomy hysterectomy, a surgical approach with incisions 6 cm or less, is a safe and feasible option for select patients. This minimally invasive technique demonstrated good recovery times and low complication rates.

Area of Science:

  • Gynecology
  • Minimally Invasive Surgery

Background:

  • Hysterectomy is a common gynecological procedure.
  • Minimally invasive surgical techniques aim to reduce patient morbidity.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the safety and feasibility of minilaparotomy hysterectomy.
  • To report outcomes for patients undergoing hysterectomy via minilaparotomy.

Main Methods:

  • Minilaparotomy defined as a skin incision ≤ 6 cm.
  • Data collected on patients undergoing minilaparotomy hysterectomy from January 1996 to June 1997.

Main Results:

  • 26 minilaparotomy hysterectomies performed out of 250 total.
  • Mean patient age 54 years; common indications included endometrial cancer and adnexal mass.

  • Low complication rate with rapid recovery: median Foley removal 1 day, discharge 3.4 days.

    • Conclusions:

    • Minilaparotomy hysterectomy is a safe and feasible surgical approach.
    • This technique is suitable for a selected group of patients requiring hysterectomy.
