Chopstick technique versus cross technique in LESS hysterectomy (CCLEH study): a prospective randomized controlled trial.

ABSTRACT:

Background

The traditional cross technique can be used to complete most laparoendoscopic single-site surgery (LESS) procedures, but some relatively precise operations, such as vaginal stump suturing, are challenging. In practice, we have introduced a novel technique named the chopstick technique and applied it to more complex operations, such as cervical cancer operations, and found that it contributes to performing delicate surgery. The efficacy and safety of two different surgical techniques in LESS hysterectomy remain to be validated.

Methods

Patients who undergo total hysterectomy will be enrolled in this RCT. Stratified randomization will be performed according to uterine size (< 10 cm, 10-15cm, ≥ 15 cm). The participants will be divided into the chopstick technique gro
