Comparative Study of Electrosurgical Bipolar Vessel Sealing Using Ligasure versus Conventional Suturing for Total Abdominal Hysterectomy

Background: Hysterectomy is a common gynecological surgical intervention, which could be associated with increased female morbidity and mortality. Bleeding and pain represent two main complications associated with hysterectomy. Hemostatic measures are in a continuous development, and LigaSure could...

Patients and Methods:Seventy patients who were scheduled for elective hysterectomy were included. They were assigned to equal groups [Ligasure [A] and Conventional suturing [B]]. All were screened preoperatively, prepared and both intra-and post-operative outcome were registered and compared between both groups [mainly blood loss and postoperative pain]. Results: Both groups were comparable as regard to patient age, body mass index, parity, and indications for hysterectomy. Operative time was significantly reduced among vessel sealing when compared to conventional group [54.9±6.7 vs 63.1±6.6 minutes respectively]. In addition, vessels sealing group was associated with significantly low blood loss [142.7±23.1 vs 285.7±28.4 ml], high postoperative hemoglobin [11.3±1.0 vs 11.0±0.9], low hemoglobin reduction, and significant reduction of postoperative pain at evening, first and second postoperative days and low need for analgesia. Conclusion: Electrosurgical bipolar vessel sealing is an effective alternative to sutures in abdominal hysterectomy. It is associated with significant operative time shortening, low blood loss and low postoperative pain.Mohamed MohamedSamia EidWaleed AyadAbdelrahman EmamAl-Azhar University, Faculty of Medicine (Damietta)articlehysterectomybleedingligasuresuturescomplicationsMedicine (General)R5-920ENInternational Journal of Medical Arts, Vol 2, Iss 4, Pp 698-704 (2020)
