Brief Summary
Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.
Detailed Description
Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.
The researcher will collect relevant data including age of patient, medical \& surgical history and data relating to both the primary \& secondary outcome measures, which include length of operation, intra-operative blood loss,post-operative pain measures as well as length of hospital stay \& cost.
A qualified statistician will perform power calculations and analyse the data collected, looking at the outcome measures mentioned above.
Electrical surgery has been used extensively in surgery, especially in laparoscopic surgery, and the use of these newer electrocoagulation forceps that can simultaneously haemostatically seal \& cut tissue is again well established in laparoscopic surgery but only more recently introduced to open surgical procedures. To date, except for 1 pilot study, there are no randomised control trials that confirm the proposed benefits of these newer device in abdominal hysterectomy.
