Enabling Technologies for Gynecologic Vaginal Surgery: A Systematic Review. Obstet Gynecol 2024; 143:524-537. [PMID: 38301255 DOI: 10.1097/aog.0000000000005522] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/24/2023] [Accepted: 12/07/2023] [Indexed: 02/03/2024]
Abstract
OBJECTIVE To systematically review the literature to evaluate clinical and surgical outcomes for technologies that facilitate vaginal surgical procedures. DATA SOURCES We systematically searched MEDLINE, EMBASE, and ClinicalTrials.gov from January 1990 to May 2022. METHODS OF STUDY SELECTION Comparative and single-arm studies with data on contemporary tools or technologies facilitating intraoperative performance of vaginal gynecologic surgical procedures for benign indications were included. Citations were independently double screened, and eligible full-text articles were extracted by two reviewers. Data collected included study characteristics, technology, patient demographics, and intraoperative and postoperative outcomes. Risk of bias for comparative studies was assessed using established methods, and restricted maximum likelihood model meta-analyses were conducted as indicated. TABULATION, INTEGRATION, AND RESULTS The search yielded 8,658 abstracts, with 116 eligible studies that evaluated pedicle sealing devices (n=32), nonrobotic and robotic vaginal natural orifice transluminal endoscopic surgery (n=64), suture capture devices (n=17), loop ligatures (n=2), and table-mounted telescopic cameras (n=1). Based on 19 comparative studies, pedicle sealing devices lowered vaginal hysterectomy operative time by 15.9 minutes (95% CI, -23.3 to -85), blood loss by 36.9 mL (95% CI, -56.9 to -17.0), hospital stay by 0.2 days (95% CI, -0.4 to -0.1), and visual analog scale pain scores by 1.4 points on a subjective 10-point scale (95% CI, -1.7 to -1.1). Three nonrandomized comparative studies and 53 single-arm studies supported the feasibility of nonrobotic vaginal natural orifice transluminal endoscopic surgery for hysterectomy, adnexal surgery, pelvic reconstruction, and myomectomy. Data were limited for robotic vaginal natural orifice transluminal endoscopic surgery, suture capture devices, loop ligatures, and table-mounted cameras due to few studies or study heterogeneity. CONCLUSION Pedicle sealing devices lower operative time and blood loss for vaginal hysterectomy, with modest reductions in hospital stay and pain scores. Although other technologies identified in the literature may have potential to facilitate vaginal surgical procedures and improve outcomes, additional comparative effectiveness research is needed.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE The aim of this study is to determine one-day hysterectomy's criteria of acceptability and feasibility. MATERIALS AND METHODS We realized an observational descriptive survey based on questionnaires which were sent to gynecologic surgeons. Criteria were defined as major when rate of favorable responses was superior to 70%. RESULTS Main major criteria were: definition of an age limit (80.3% of respondents), of a Body Mass Index limit (70%), no history of coronary artery disease (77.6%), no anticoagulant therapy with curative intent (95.4%) or antiplatelet (71.1%), no history of sleep apnea (77.4%), surgery within two hours (85.1%), definition of intraoperative bleeding limit (87.5%), no laparotomy (97.4%), no intra abdominal drainage (77.6%), presence of an accompanying at home (99.3%), pain evaluation (97.4%), absence of nausea before leaving (75.5%) and spontaneous urination (96.7%). CONCLUSION Our study determined major criteria to practice one-day hysterectomy. Decision should be based on a personalized benefice-risk balance analysis. Final decision belongs to patient, as her complete engagement is fundamental.

Abstract
In this review, we examine the evidence behind nonopioid medication alternatives, peripheral nerve blocks, surgical techniques, and postoperative recovery protocols that can help minimize and effectively treat postoperative pain after minimally invasive gynecologic surgery (MIGS). Because of the depth and heterogeneity of the data, a narrative review was performed of reported interventions. A comprehensive review was performed of PubMed, Embase, and the Cochrane Database with a focus on randomized controlled trials. In the absence of literature specific to benign gynecology, similar specialty or procedural data were reviewed. A variety of nonopioid medications, surgical techniques, and postoperative recovery protocols have shown significant improvements in postoperative pain after gynecologic surgery. Nonopioid medication options that are beneficial include acetaminophen, nonsteroidal anti-inflammatories, and antiepileptics. Incision infiltration with local anesthesia also significantly reduces pain. Surgically, minimally invasive approaches, reducing the laparoscopic trocar size to <10 mm, and evacuating the pneumoperitoneum at the end of the case all have significant benefits. Lastly, enhanced recovery pathways show promise in reducing pain after MIGS. By using a multimodal approach, minimally invasive gynecologic surgeons can help to minimize and manage postoperative pain with less reliance on opioid pain medications.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE The aim of our study was to evaluate the feasibility of vaginal hysterectomy in an ambulatory care system and the best way to perform it between conventional and bipolar vessel sealing system ligatures. PATIENTS AND METHODS This was a prospective study of 32 patients with vaginal hysterectomy at Lille University Hospital between December 2013 and May 2015. Two surgical techniques were compared: conventional suture ligature (CSL) and electrosurgical bipolar vessel sealing (BVS). Patients stayed in classical hospitalization but were managed how if they were in an ambulatory unit to evaluate their capacity to come back home the same evening of the surgery. The evaluation of same-day discharge was based on Post Anesthetic Discharge Scoring System (PADSS) score?9/10 and Visual Analogic Scale (VAS) score?4/10. Other data collected were: operative time, uterus weight, peroperative bleeding, PADSS score at the 8th postoperative hour, VAS score at the 4th, 6th, 8th, 12th and 24th postoperative hours, the presence of postoperative nausea/vomiting and rehospitalization. RESULTS In the BVS group, 93.8% of patients validated the combined score (PADSS+VAS) on the evening of the intervention against 50% of patients in the CSL group (P<0.05). Hundred percent of BVS group patients were discharged on the day after surgery against 87.5% in the CSL group. The VAS was significantly lower in the BVS group at the 8th (1.4), 12th (1.2) and 24th (1.3) postoperative hours. Operative time was significantly shorter in the BVS group. We found more events such as nausea/vomiting in the CSL group. CONCLUSION Vaginal hysterectomy is feasible in an ambulatory care system most of times. By reducing postoperative pain, electrosurgical bipolar vessel sealing would promote outpatient hospitalization.

Abstract
The present study evaluated the efficacy of an electrosurgical bipolar vessel sealing system for radical abdominal hysterectomy (RAH). A total of 85 consecutive patients who underwent RAH with pelvic lymphadenectomy for cervical cancer or endometrial cancer were analyzed; in 18 patients, the LigaSure system (Valleylab, Boulder, Colo) was used to secure the vascular pedicles, and in the remaining 67 patients, clamps were used, and the pedicles suture ligated. Compared with the conventional suture group, the patients in the LigaSure group had a significantly shorter operation time (mean, LigaSure 242.8 ± 36.1 minutes vs conventional, 349.1 ± 82.6) minutes; P < 0.001) and lower blood loss (mean, 583.1 ± 287.6 mL vs 999.0 ± 524.2 mL; P < 0.005). Only 1 (0.06%) of the 18 patients in the LigaSure group was transfused, whereas 27 (40.2%) of the 67 patients in the conventional suture group were transfused. Because transfusion requirements may be affected by the surgeon's bias, we compared blood loss among untransfused patients and found that the LigaSure group still had significantly lower blood loss than the conventional suture group (mean, 550.9 ± 233.1 mL vs 745.49.0 ± 230.4 mL; P < 0.01). Hemoglobin level reduction after surgery in untransfused patients was significantly lower in the LigaSure group than in the conventional suture group (mean, 2.31 ± 2.22 mg/dL vs 3.22 ± 1.11 mg/dL; P < 0.05). These findings indicate that the LigaSure vessel sealing system is useful to reduce blood loss and shorten operating time at RAH.
