What this Trial Is About
Researchers are evaluating a new endoscopic tissue cutting and abdominal extraction device designed to remove large tissue masses safely and efficiently during laparoscopic hysterectomy surgeries. This study compares the new device with the conventional cold scalpel for removing uterine tissue. The goal is to improve the process of tissue removal, which is challenging due to the small size of surgical incisions compared to the larger size of tissues that need to be extracted. Participants will receive one of two treatments during their laparoscopic hysterectomy tissue removal using the new endoscopic cutting device or tissue removal using the standard cold scalpel. The device is designed to cut tissue without rotational movement and keep the pieces contained, aiming to reduce the risk of tissue spreading in the abdomen. The study will measure the time it takes to remove tissue and monitor for possible complications. During the study, participants will be assessed on how long the tissue removal process takes from placing the uterus in a retrieval bag until complete removal. Additionally, sexual function will be evaluated before surgery and six months afterward using the Female Sexual Function Index FSFI. Researchers will also monitor for any complications related to the procedures. The study period includes treatment and follow-up assessments, with careful monitoring of surgical outcomes and patient well-being.
