Laparoscopic hysterectomy experience and learning curve: In our clinic
Abstract
Objective: The aim of this article is to compare the perioperative results of 30 laparoscopic hysterectomies (LH) and 62 LH operations performed on patients in similar age groups and demographic characteristics.
Method: A total of 92 patients who were operated between September 2013 and June 2015 in our clinic were included in the study. Group 1 was formed with the first 30 patients who underwent LH surgery for the first time. Group 2 was formed with 62 patients.
Results: No statistically significant difference was found between the patients in Group 1 and Group 2 in terms of age, number of parity and previous pelvic surgery history (p = 0.845; p = 0.266, and p = 0.796). There was also no statistically significant difference between the patients in Group 1 and Group 2 in terms of operation time (min.), Delta Hb (gr / dl), hospitalization time (day) and complication rate (p = 0.198; p = 0.486; p = 0.201, and p = 0.454).
Conclusions: Although laparoscopic hysterectomy is an operation method with low complication rates and high patient satisfaction, it should be kept in mind that increased surgical experience does not always guarantee good perioperative results.
