title: [Methods of pedicle hemostasis in laparoscopically-assisted vaginal hysterectomy (VAVH). Evaluation of results].
abstract: The objective was to evaluate whether use of different techniques of hemostasia have effect on laparoscopically assisted vaginal hysterectomy (LAVH) morbidity. Was performed a review of 53 LAVH cases, parameters analyzed were type of hemostasia method and surgical complications. There were five patients with transoperative bleeding and two with incidental bladder lesion, that were managed successfully without complications. There were no significant differences between types of hemostasia with respect to transoperative bleeding. There were no mayor surgical complications in the studied patients. As conclusion LAVH allows patients a expedite recovery with low postoperative complications. All the methods used in this work to perform hemostasia in LAVH are safe and effective for patients with habitual hysterectomy indications.
