Abstract

Seven hundred fifty-six women were randomly divided into two groups. Group 1 (378 cases) were operated on via laparoscopy with VN and group 2 (378 cases) with DTI technique. Complications were compared between the two groups. No major complications occurred. Minor complications were: a problem with insufflation of CO2 (19 VN, 2 DTI, P<0.001); more than one insertion of the instrument (18 VN, 13 DTI, NS); need to alter the technique (6 VN, 10 DTI, NS); and penetration of the fascia but not the peritoneum by trocar sleeve (2 VN, 19 DTI, P<0.001). The significant differences found presented no serious problems, and we concluded that both methods were satisfactory.
