The aim of this study is to evaluate our surgical technique with regard to the success of total laparoscopic hysterectomy (TLH) for the removal of the uterus, by analyzing its intraoperative and postoperative surgical outcomes and complications in the hope of reducing their occurrence.<\/jats:p><jats:p><jats:bold>Methods:\u2002<\/jats:bold> A retrospective observational study was carried out at KK Hospital, Singapore, based on TLH operations performed from January 2001 to June 2005. The KOH Colpotomizer System and the RUMI Uterine Manipulator were the surgical methods used.<\/jats:p><jats:p><jats:bold>Results:\u2002<\/jats:bold> 435 women consented for a TLH. 427 women (98.2%) had a successful TLH with three mini\u2010laparotomy and five laparotomy conversions (1.8% failure rate). Injuries included bowel injury (four), bladder base bleeding (one), uterine perforation (one), uterovaginal fistula (one) and vaginal laceration (four). 21 women (4.8%) encountered major complications (defined as laparotomy conversion, excessive bleeding requiring blood transfusion, hemorrhage \u22651000\u2003mL, ureteric injury, bowel injury and pulmonary embolus), which compares favorably with previous reports (4.0\u201311.0%) of laparoscopic hysterectomy. Our mean operating time, mean estimated blood loss, mean hospital stay and readmission rate are similarly comparable.<\/jats:p><jats:p><jats:bold>Conclusion:\u2002<\/jats:bold> TLH is associated with a high success rate, and low morbidity with few complications.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1111\/j.1447-0756.2007.00577.x","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2007,8,6]],"date-time":"2007-08-06T19:16:24Z","timestamp":1186427784000},"page":"512-518","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":23,"title":["Retrospective study of the success rates and complications associated with total laparoscopic hysterectomy"],"prefix":"10.1111","volume":"33","author":[{"given":"Christopher C.
