Resultados de 1.000 cirugías ginecológicas laparoscópicas sucesivas

Objectives

To review the indications and outcomes of 1,000 consecutive laparoscopic surgeries.

Material and methods

We carried out an observational, retrospective study of the first 1,000 gynecological laparoscopic procedures performed in our hospital. Data on complications and conversions were recorded.

Results

Between January 2005 and November 2011, we performed 1000 laparoscopic surgeries: 452 (45.2%) ovarian procedures, 200 (20%) hysterectomies for benign causes, 105 (10.5%) gynecological neoplasms, 88 (8.8%) tubal ligations, 75 (7.5%) diagnostic laparoscopies, 56 (5.6%) myomectomies, 19 (1.9%) sacropexies and 5 (0.5%) appendectomies. There were 22 major complications (2.2%) and 32 conversions to open surgery (3.2%).

Conclusion

The laparoscopic approach to gynecological surgery is safe and effective.
