This video demonstrate Total Laparoscopic Hysterectomy step by step using infrared ureter stent together with appendectomy. Combination procedure is very easy to perform by laparoscopy. Laparoscopic Hysterectomy remains a reasonable substitute for abdominal hysterectomy.  Laparoscopic hysterectomy together with appendectomy is a cost-effective procedure when done with reusable instruments. Laparoscopic hysterectomy with ureteric stenting with infrared catheter is a safe procedure, even when performed by a variety of gynecologists with different skill levels, and its adoption can decrease abdominal incision hysterectomies.

Laparoscopic Hysterectomy and Appendectomy Using Illuminated Ureteral Stent: Step-by-Step Demonstration at World Laparoscopy Hospital

Laparoscopic surgery has revolutionized the field of minimally invasive surgery, offering patients faster recovery, reduced postoperative pain, and minimal scarring. Among the many advanced procedures performed today, laparoscopic hysterectomy and appendectomy stand out for their complexity, precision, and the critical need to avoid complications. At the forefront of surgical innovation, World Laparoscopy Hospital has developed a comprehensive step-by-step demonstration of these procedures, enhanced with the use of an illuminated ureteral stent, ensuring maximum safety and precision.

The Role of Illuminated Ureteral Stent

One of the major challenges in gynecological and abdominal surgery is the risk of ureteral injury. The ureter, being in close proximity to the uterus and appendix, can easily be damaged during surgery. To mitigate this risk, the illuminated ureteral stent is employed. This specialized stent emits light, allowing surgeons to visualize the ureter clearly throughout the procedure. By providing real-time anatomical guidance, it reduces the chances of inadvertent injury, ensures patient safety, and allows surgeons to operate with confidence.

Step-by-Step Laparoscopic Hysterectomy

1. Preoperative Preparation: The patient undergoes thorough evaluation, including imaging and lab tests. The illuminated ureteral stent is inserted cystoscopically before beginning the surgery.

2. Port Placement: Small incisions are made in the abdomen to insert the laparoscopic ports. These ports allow the insertion of a camera and surgical instruments.

3. Visualization and Dissection: With the laparoscope, surgeons carefully identify the uterus, surrounding structures, and the ureters illuminated by the stent.

4. Hysterectomy Procedure: The uterus is detached from ligaments and blood vessels using advanced energy devices. Continuous visualization ensures the ureters remain protected.

5. Specimen Removal: The uterus is removed either vaginally or via morcellation, depending on the size and surgical plan.

Step-by-Step Laparoscopic Appendectomy

1. Patient Positioning: The patient is positioned to allow optimal access to the appendix.

2. Port Placement: Ports are strategically placed for visualization and instrument maneuverability.

3. Identification of Appendix: The appendix is carefully located using laparoscopic instruments. The illuminated stent continues to guide the surgeon in avoiding ureteral or bowel injury.

4. Appendectomy Procedure: The appendix is dissected and removed with precision, ensuring minimal trauma to surrounding tissues.

5. Closure and Recovery: The incisions are closed, and the patient is monitored for early recovery, often allowing discharge within 24–48 hours.
