Abstract/OtherAbstract:
|
Trocar-assisted transvaginal colpotomy was performed in 17 patients to remove large pathologic specimens during laparoscopic operations when the specimen could not be extirpated through the laparoscopic ports. Under direct laparoscopic visualization, colpotomy was performed using a 10- or 11-mm disposable trocar without the sleeve. The trocar was removed, a ring forceps was placed through the incision, the incision was enlarged, and the mass was grasped with the ring forceps and removed. This technique is safe, fast, and easy to perform. In addition, smoke is not created and potential electrocautery damage to pelvic structures is avoided. |
