There are a number of advantages to the patient with laparoscopic surgery versus an open procedure. These include: Reduced hemorrhaging, which reduces the chance of needing a blood transfusion. [12] [13] Smaller incision, which reduces pain and shortens recovery time, as well as resulting in less post-operative scarring. [13] [14] [15]
It is estimated that about 60 cases need to be performed by a surgeon to be comfortable with the procedure and about 250 cases to be an expert. The procedure takes at least five hours and as long as eight hours for the average urologist, without a bilateral lymph node dissection, compared to 2.5–3 hours when done by an open technique with an ...

Recovery may be slightly faster after laparoscopic surgery, although the laparoscopic procedure itself is more expensive and resource-intensive than open surgery and generally takes longer. Advanced pelvic sepsis occasionally requires a lower midline laparotomy. Complicated (perforated) appendicitis should undergo prompt surgical intervention. [1]
Frozen pelvis can cause chronic pelvic pain. Because these internal organs are attached to each other, they cannot move normally. This results in pain whenever an improperly attached organ moves, including during bowel movements, urination, menstruation, and sexual intercourse. [1] Involvement of any pelvic nerves can cause neuropathic pain. [1]
Dual-port laparoscopy is a form of laparoscopic surgery using two 5 mm midline incisions: the uterus is detached through the two ports and removed through the vagina. [ 80 ] [ 81 ] "Robotic hysterectomy" is a variant of laparoscopic surgery using special remotely controlled instruments that allow the surgeon finer control as well as three ...
