Hysterectomy is the surgical removal of the uterus. It may also involve removal of the cervix, ovaries, fallopian tubes and other surrounding structures. Usually performed by a gynecologist, a hysterectomy may be total (removing the body, fundus, and cervix of the uterus; often called "complete") or partial (removal of the uterine body while leaving the cervix intact; also called "supracervical"). It is the second most commonly performed gynecological surgical procedure, after cesarean section, in the United States. In 2015, according to the American Journal of Obstetrics and Gynecology, more than 400,000 hysterectomies were performed in the United States, of which, nearly 68 percent were performed for benign conditions such as endometriosis, irregular bleeding and uterine fibroids. Such rates being highest in the industrialized world has led to the major controversy that hysterectomies are being largely performed for unwarranted and unnecessary reasons. However, more recent data suggests that the number of hysterectomies performed has declined in every state in the United States. In fact, from 2010 to 2013, there were 12 percent fewer hysterectomies performed, and the types of hysterectomies were more minimally invasive in nature, reflected by a 17 percent increase in laparoscopic procedures. This suggests that patients are finding viable alternatives to manage their symptoms before opting for hysterectomy.
Robotically assisted single-incision surgical procedures
PCT designated stageWO2025231306A1Suture equipmentsInternal osteosythesisSurgical operationLaparoscopes
Systems, methods and devices for single-incision surgical procedures include a robotic surgical system adapted and configured to perform a single-incision laparoscopic cholecystectomy, hysterectomy, prostatectomy, esophagectomy and inguinal hernia repair. The systems include a physician console, a patient cart and a system controller. The system controller is adapted and configured to receive a plurality of control inputs from each of a plurality of hand control input devices, to process the plurality of control inputs and to transmit a plurality of control outputs to an axial translation actuator, a roll actuator, a steerable overtube controller, a plurality of instrument controllers and a videoscope controller.

Extrauterine manipulator system consisting of two main parts, a first part comprising an adjustable manipulator and a second part for containing the co 2 gas pneumoperitoneum once the upper part of the vagina is cut
The invention relates to a manipulator system for laparoscopic extrauterine hysterectomy, which comprises two main parts: a first part (I), which is an abdominal part comprising an adjustable manipulator having a detachable adjustable handle at the end thereof for holding and manipulating the uterus inside the uterine cavity; and a second part (II), which is a vaginal part inserted into the patient's vagina and formed by a cup, a plastic tube and a suction element, the second part allowing the CO2 gas pneumoperitoneum to be contained once the upper part of the vagina is incised. The system solves issues relating to the complexity of use and the costs associated with current manipulators.

Colpotomy cup assembly
A medical device for performing a hysterectomy is provided. The medical device has a tissue incision assembly including a first cup nested within a second cup. The tissue incision assembly also includes a spacer assembly between the first cup and the second cup to maintain a spacing between the first cup and the second cup. The tissue incision assembly also has a cutting implement having a portion that extends between and is movable relative to the first cup and the second cup. The cutting implement can provide a circular cut guided via the spacing between the first cup and the second cup.

Vagina closer for hysterectomy under laparoscope
The invention provides a vaginal closer for hysterectomy under a laparoscope, and belongs to the technical field of medical instruments. In order to solve the problems that an existing incision suture device is poor in kneading effect and inconvenient to suture, the vagina closer for the hysterectomy under the laparoscope comprises a supporting plate, two stump kneading assemblies, two traction assemblies, two stump twisting assemblies and a needle threading assembly, and the two stump kneading assemblies, the two traction assemblies, the two stump twisting assemblies and the needle threading assembly are arranged on the supporting plate. When the vagina closing device is used, the anastomat is used for anastomosing the vagina stump under the direct vision of a laparoscope, the vagina closing device is placed in the vagina through the handheld rod, then the two stump kneading assemblies are used for kneading the vagina stump, and then the two traction assemblies are used for pulling open the two kneading assemblies respectively; and the two twisting assemblies rotate the two kneading assemblies in opposite directions, so that the anastomosed vagina stump is kept in an S-shaped kneading state, the subsequent needle threading assembly drives a suture needle to suture, the suture is smoother, and the suture steps are simplified.

Hysterectomy model
24 20936646_1 (GHMatters) P107159.AU.2 Abstract A surgical simulator for surgical training is provided. The simulator includes a frame defining an enclosure and a simulated tissue model located inside an enclosure. The simulated tissue model is adapted for practicing hysterectomies and includes at least a simulated uterus and a simulated vagina. The simulated tissue model is suspending inside the enclosure with two planar sheets of silicone such that the tissue model is located between the two sheets each of which form a fold and are in turn connected to the frame. The frame may be shaped like a cylinder and located inside a cavity of a larger laparoscopic trainer having a penetrable simulated abdominal wall. The tissue model is interchangeable and accessible laterally through an aperture provided in a support leg of the trainer. Abstract A surgical simulator for surgical training is provided.
