Comparison of the Outcomes of Total Laparoscopic Hysterectomy Versus Total Abdominal Hysterectomy for Benign Gynecologic Conditions in a Limited-resources Setting.

32 participantsStarted 2026-04

Plain-language summary

Minimally invasive hysterectomy (laparoscopic) is associated with shorter hospital stay, less blood loss, faster recovery, and improved early postoperative quality of life compared with open abdominal hysterectomy. However, in low-resource settings, barriers such as equipment availability, cost, and limited surgeon experience may influence outcomes.
