RESUMO
INTRODUCTION AND HYPOTHESIS: Post-hysterectomy vault prolapse poses significant challenges to patients and surgeons alike. Despite numerous surgical interventions during initial vaginal hysterectomy to counteract this, a comparative analysis of their efficacy is limited. This study introduces a pioneering technique intended to avert vault prolapse during vaginal hysterectomy by harmoniously merging level 1 and level 2 support. METHODS: After obtaining informed consent, we recorded a variation of the McCall technique performed during vaginal hysterectomy and anterior repair. Patient follow-ups were conducted up to 6 months post-operation to evaluate anatomical outcomes and quality of life. RESULTS: A total of 46 women underwent the surgery. Anatomical evaluations at the 6-month mark were commendable, with no recurrence instances. Quality-of-life assessments, using the Pelvic Organ Prolapse/Urinary Incontinence Sexual Questionnaire-12 (PISQ-12), showcased substantial improvement. CONCLUSION: Our novel approach to vault suspension provides an uncomplicated, easily impartible, surgical procedure utilizing standard sutures. We believe that this approach is both enduring and safe.

PURPOSE: To review the safety and effectiveness of robot-assisted hysterectomy compared to traditional open and conventional laparoscopic surgery, differentiating radical, simple total with node staging, and simple total hysterectomy. METHODS: Medline, Embase, the Cochrane library, and the Journal of Robotic Surgery were searched for controlled trials and observational studies with historic or concurrent controls. Data were pooled using random effects meta-analysis. RESULTS: Compared to open surgery, robot-assisted radical hysterectomy is associated with reduced hospital stay and blood transfusions. For simple total hysterectomy with node staging, robot-assisted surgery is associated with reduced hospital stay, complications, and blood transfusions compared to open surgery. Compared to conventional laparoscopic surgery, robot-assisted simple total hysterectomy with node staging is associated with complications and conversions. CONCLUSIONS: Compared to open surgery, robot-assisted hysterectomy offers benefits for reduced length of hospital stay and blood transfusions. The best evidence of improved outcomes is for simple total hysterectomy with node staging. Study quality was poor.
