Intraoperative and Postoperative Outcomes in Patients Undergoing Total Laparoscopic Hysterectomy for Benign Conditions With Drain Placement
This study suggests drain application during TLH may predict bleeding complications and influence perioperative outcomes. Despite limitations, including their retrospective nature, the findings contribute to the ongoing debate surrounding drain use in TLH and provide valuable insights for clinical practice. Further prospective studies are warranted to validate these findings and guide evidence-based decision-making in gynecological surgery.
