Clinical Report: Comparative Study of Perioperative Results in Hysterectomy Techniques
Overview
This study compares the perioperative safety, efficiency, and learning curves of multiport laparoscopic total hysterectomy (MPLH), robot-assisted single-port total hysterectomy (RASPH), and single-port laparoscopic total hysterectomy (SPLH). Findings indicate that RASPH requires longer operative times.
Background
Minimally invasive hysterectomy techniques are increasingly preferred due to their benefits, including reduced trauma, faster recovery, and lower complication rates. This study addresses a gap in comparative research on these techniques, particularly in relation to uterine volume.

Key Findings
Unadjusted operative time was significantly different among techniques (P < 0.001).
RASPH had the longest operative time, while MPLH and SPLH showed comparable efficiency.
Blood loss was significantly higher in SPLH compared to MPLH and RASPH (P < 0.001).
30-day complication rates were similar across all techniques (P = 0.79).
MPLH and SPLH reached proficiency faster than RASPH based on CUSUM learning curves.
Clinical Implications
Understanding the differences in operative times and blood loss can aid surgeons in selecting the appropriate technique.
Conclusion
This study provides insights into the comparative outcomes of minimally invasive hysterectomy techniques.
