Abstract

Minimally invasive hysterectomy has gained popularity because of its many benefits. However, laparoscopic and robotic assisted hysterectomy have been associated with increased risk of vaginal cuff dehiscence. This review is meant to address risk management and prevention of vaginal cuff dehiscence in patients undergoing minimally invasive hysterectomy. Recent findings in the literature focus on addressing modifiable risk factors in patients and on using good surgical technique to help minimize the risk of vaginal cuff dehiscence. The focus of this review is to help surgeons identify patient risk factors and address them preoperatively and to review surgical techniques that can minimize the risk of vaginal cuff dehiscence.
