What are the benefits of performing a cholecystectomy through a 20mm umbilical port that might increase the risk of abdominal wall complications? Will it be possible to reduce the size of the instruments and scopes to make them suitable for a smaller umbilical port? What role have flexible scopes with operative channels and endoscopic instruments?

Laparoscopic and vaginal hysterectomies remain far less common > 538,000 hysterectomies performed for benign disease> Most hysterectomies still invasive procedures

Monday, November 19, 2007

Is vaginal hysterectomy still considered to be associated with the lowest morbidity? Will the rate of laparoscopic hysterectomies continue to increase? Is a vaginal hysterectomy chosen over a laparoscopic or abdominal approach inspite of the fact that laparoscopic surgery is associated with shorter length of stay, faster recovery and fewer postoperative infections?
