Even lengthy laparoscopic surgery beats laparotomy for hysterectomy: study
US research confirms better recovery with the less invasive technique even when operating times are longer
Total laparoscopic hysterectomy is linked to lower morbidity than laparotomy regardless of surgery duration, an analysis of more than 120,000 procedures shows.
US gynaecologists say their findings confirm women undergoing total abdominal hysterectomy have higher complication rates and longer hospital stays than those operated on laparoscopically.
