A randomized, controlled trial comparing the clinical outcomes of 3D versus 2D laparoscopic hysterectomy.

ABSTRACT:

Introduction

There have been a few clinical studies on the use of three-dimensional (3D) laparoscopy with different results.

Aim

To compare the surgical outcomes of 3D versus two-dimensional (2D) laparoscopic hysterectomy for benign or premalignant gynecologic diseases.

Material and methods

In this double-blind trial, 68 patients were randomly assigned to either the 3D or 2D groups at a 1 : 1 ratio. The only difference between the two groups was the laparoscopic vision system used. The primary outcome was operative blood loss and operative time. The other surgical outcomes including failure of the intended surgery, length of hospital stay, and operative complications were also assessed.

Results

The baseline characteristics did not statistically significantly di
