Summary

This study compares a new energy-based surgical device (LigaSure Maryland) to the standard 'knot-and-cut' method for removing fallopian tubes and ovaries during vaginal hysterectomy for pelvic organ prolapse. Researchers will measure procedure time, blood loss, pain, and recovery in 70 women randomly assigned to one of the two techniques. The goal is to see if the energy-based approach is safer or more effective.

Active substance

LigaSure Maryland device

What this could lead to

If successful, this could make ovary removal during vaginal hysterectomy faster, with less blood loss and pain, leading to quicker recovery.

What could go wrong

This is a small, early-stage study (70 participants) comparing surgical techniques, so results may not apply broadly. The device may not prove safer or more effective than the standard approach.
