Description
Meijun Guan and co-authors compare nine minimally invasive ways to remove the uterus for benign disease, in a network meta-analysis from 2024. The review asks whether a newer route, surgery through the vagina with an endoscope, can match standard laparoscopy. The team searched seven databases and gathered randomized trials of the rival methods.
In all, 78 trials with 7,640 patients covered nine techniques and sixteen head-to-head pairings. Most trials carried a medium risk of bias. A ranking method scored each approach across outcomes such as operating time, blood loss, and complications. On complication outcomes, a combined single-site and vaginal approach ranked first in the analysis. The authors weigh the rankings to guide surgeons choosing among close options.
